Do you enjoy a good margarita? The distinct flavor of tequila paired with the refreshing crispness of lime and a touch of salt is well-known, derived from the deserts of Mexico as an evolution of the citrus-based daisy cocktail.
Rancho La Gloria is reimagining this tequila-based classic with a half-dozen refreshing flavors that come premixed in bottles, cans, or popsicles. Each flavor is interesting enough that it makes a great stand-alone drink served on the rocks. But if you are looking to dress things up, Rancho La Gloria cocktails make a great base, too.
Sweet and Spicy
If you enjoy sweet and spicy combinations like mango and habanero or peach and chile, you’re in for a treat with classic Rancho La Gloria flavors like Mango and Watermelon. Start by rimming a cocktail glass with chili sauce and chili powder. Then, add ice and one can of Rancho La Gloria peach flavor cocktail and garnish with a chamoy.
What is a chamoy? If you are unfamiliar with this Mexican treat, it is basically a prune or dried fruit covered in a mixture of chili powder and sugar. Chamoy can be pureed into a sauce consistency and used for rimming the glass as well.
What You Need:
- Chamoy sauce or chile sauce
- Chile Powder
- Rancho La Gloria Mango Flavor Wine Cocktail (Canned with Bubbles)
- Chamoy Fruit Garnish
- Ice

Refreshing, Crisp Grapefruit Margarita
Grapefruit puts a refreshingly different twist on the classic margarita. Rancho La Gloria’s Paloma cocktail strikes the perfect balance between the sweetness of 100% Blue Weber Agave and the tartness of fresh grapefruit with an accent of fresh lime juice. We recommend rimming your glass with fresh lime juice and sugar crystals and pouring the palmona over ice. A fresh-fruit garnish provides a perfect touch. A wedge of red grapefruit coated in sugar or a slice of fresh pineapple will do the trick.
What You Need:
- Limes
- Sugar Crystals (for rimming)
- Rancho La Glorias Palmona Cocktail
- Fresh Grapefruit
- Table Sugar

Watermelon Cucumber
Rancho La Gloria makes the perfect poolside margarita served in a hollowed-out mini melon. Start by having a small melon and scooping out the fruit with a melon baller. Slide the melon balls onto a long garnish stick to add to the drink later—slice fresh lime and fresh cucumber to enhance the drink’s natural flavors. Then, in a shaker cup, muddle two lime wedges and one fresh herb leaf-like basil or mint. Muddling gently breaks open the fruits and herbs to release their flavors.
Add ice and Rancho La Glorias watermelon margarita wine cocktail and shake well. Rim a glass with fresh-squeezed lime juice and sugar crystals. Pour the shaker contents into the rimmed glass and garnish with fresh cucumber slices, a watermelon skewer, and fresh herb leaves.
What You Will Need:
- Rancho La Glorias Watermelon Cocktail
- Shaker
- Ice
- Muddling Spoon
- Melon Baller
- Skewer Sticks (for garnish)
- Cucumber
- Small Melons
- Fresh Herbs (mint or basil)
The OG Margarita
If you are not a fan of the flavors — Rancho La Gloria makes it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite cocktail. The only thing you have to decide is if you want it fresh or frozen. To enjoy an original margarita on the rocks, simply pick up Rancho La Gloria’s original margarita cocktail and pour over ice into a glass rimmed with kosher salt. Add a few fresh lime wedges for garnish. If you prefer your drinks in the frozen variety, blend Rancho La Gloria’s original cocktail with ice and pour into a salt-rimmed glass with a fresh lime wedge.
There is some debate about who should be credited with the original invention of the margarita. We know that the drink became popular sometime between 1928 and 1948, with origins in Mexico. And we know that it is enjoyed worldwide today — and that is all that is really important!
