BEST TEQUILA FOR MARGARITAS

A silver or white tequila works best for this cocktail. With that said, it is best to use good-quality tequila. You can find the exact tequila used in this recipe here.

In the event that you are looking for more options, with this in mind, any mid-level silver or white tequila will work best. Here are a few additional options.

• Casamigos Blanco
• Herradura Blanco Tequila
• Espolòn Tequila Blanco

All in all, you will not go wrong with any of these tequilas. Splurging a little will ultimately help with the crispness and flavor of the drink. Results will certainly vary otherwise.

• Merlot
• Red Wine Blend
• Malbec
• Cabernet Sauvignon
• Pinot Noir

In this recipe, I used what I had on hand which was a red wine blend from Trader Joe's that paired perfectly to make the sangria margarita.

HOW TO MAKE FRESH SOUR MIX

The key ingredient in this recipe besides purchasing good- quality tequila is specifically making fresh sour mix. While this task can seem daunting, it is truly easy to prepare and will require ten to fifteen extra minutes.

It is worth the time; this will take the drink to a next level and also is a wow factor for your guests.

1. Combine one cup of fresh lemon juice.
2. Add one cup of fresh lime juice.
3. In a pot, combine one cup of water with one cup of sugar.
4. Dissolve the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and cool.
5. Stir or shake to combine storing in an airtight container until further use.

All in all, this step is certainly optional but absolutely recommended.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SANGRIA MARGARITA WITH FRESH SOUR MIX

Using a cocktail shaker, add one half to one cup of ice. Next, pour in two ounces of tequila, two ounces of fresh sour mix, two ounces of orange juice and shake vigorously.

Then, be sure to pour the margarita mix into a glass but leaving about one to two inches of space to pour the red wine.

At this instant, use a small spoon to lay over the glass of prepared margarita. Now, slowly and carefully pour the red wine on top of the margarita mix until the glass is full.

This step takes a bit of practice, but I am certain you will achieve it on the first or second attempt! Top sangria margarita with sliced oranges, lemons or limes and serve immediately!
