Bon Appétit has published 19 margarita recipes, ranging from classic preparations to innovative variations incorporating fruits, spices, and unique ingredients. The recipes cater to different preferences, including frozen, spicy, and fruit-forward options.
The publication highlights that while a great margarita traditionally consists of tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and salt, the recipe is a versatile base for experimentation. Swapping ingredients like triple sec for agave syrup or tequila for mezcal can create new flavor profiles. Maximalist approaches, such as blending with frozen mango or muddling blackberries, are also encouraged.
Among the recipes is a “Practical Magic”-inspired margarita featuring coconut water and muddled blackberries, served on the rocks or frozen. A simplified three-ingredient version omits orange liqueur, emphasizing tequila and lime. A frozen mango margarita utilizes Cointreau for a smoothie-like texture, and a salted watermelon margarita employs homemade juice. A savory option incorporates mezcal, lemon, and Castelvetrano olives.
Other recipes include a bittersweet frozen margarita with Amaro Montenegro, a grapefruit and chile-infused margarita, a blackberry-muddled version with sparkling wine, and a blood orange margarita with a cinnamon-chile rim. A recipe using reposado tequila is also featured.
