What Are the Most Popular Margarita Flavors?

At one time, margaritas were considered only a summertime drink.

However, these delicious adult beverages are perfect for any time of the year. Today, you don’t have to settle for the same flavors either.

Many people are mixing and matching to create unique flavor combinations. Here are some of the most popular flavors of margaritas that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Lime

It should come as no surprise that lime is the most popular margarita flavor. If you ask for a traditional or regular margarita at a restaurant, they’ll bring you a lime-flavored margarita.

Lime margaritas are very easy to make, but if you don’t have the right ingredients, you can purchase Rancho Gloria’s bottled lime margarita mix. You can also try their canned lime margarita cocktails or lime margarita popsicles.

To make your own margaritas at home you’ll need:

Freshly squeezed lime juice
1.5 ounces of silver tequila
1 ounce of orange liqueur/Cointreau
Ice
Salt for the rim

Pour the tequila, orange liqueur, and freshly squeezed lime juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. If you want, you can add in a splash of agave syrup for sweetness.

Shake the drink until it’s chilled and then pour into a cocktail glass filled with ice. If you want salt on the rim, wet it with a lime wedge then dip the rim in a plate of salt.

Strawberry

The strawberry margarita is a staple at Tex-Mex restaurants and cocktail bars. This margarita flavor is the top choice for many people. It is perfectly balanced, juicy, and aromatic.

Other than the traditional lime flavor of a margarita, you cannot go wrong with this choice. With Rancho La Gloria’s Strawberry Margarita Wine Cocktail, you can fill a glass with crushed ice, pour, and serve. There is no easier way to enjoy the flavors of your favorite margarita.

If you want to create your own flavor combination, make sure to reach for Rancho La Gloria’s bottled or canned cocktails. You can even enjoy popsicles with that same excellent taste.

If you want, you can also make a pitcher of frozen strawberry margaritas. Here’s what you need for ingredients:

1 pound of strawberries
⅔ cup of fresh lime juice
1 cup of tequila
¼ cup of triple sec
⅓ cup of honey
Salt
Lime wedges

You can start by pouring the salt onto a plate and running a lime wedge over each margarita glass. Then, dip the margarita glasses in the salt. Add the tequila, strawberries, lime juice, triple sec, and honey to a blender. Pulse until smooth.

Add a bit of ice to each glass, then pour in the margarita mixture and enjoy!

Mango

Margo margaritas are not short on flavor. With this margarita, you can enjoy some bright and lemony sweetness. If sunshine could be bottled in a drink, then it would be close to this flavor. As you take a sip, you will be transformed into a tropical paradise.

A mango margarita is a perfect way to indulge your sweet side. This is one drink that you will be ordering throughout the summer season. You don’t even have to bust out the blender. Take a bottle of Rancho La Gloria’s Mango Wine Cocktail and serve over ice!

Moisten the glass rims with lime and then dip them in the coarse sugar. Then, pour in the mango margarita mix into each glass and enjoy!

Avocado

Avocado is the main ingredient in guacamole, but did you know it can spice up your margarita? This flavor is one of the newest creations in the past few years.

The creamy, fatty, and somewhat sweet taste of the avocado pairs well with triple sec or tequila. If you want to bring in the classic flavors of a margarita, make sure to salt the rim.

You can cut down the work and use Rancho La Gloria’s bottled cocktails. The original flavor is the perfect way to create your own avocado margarita. Just blend the avocado, add the cocktail, and enjoy!

Here’s what you need to make your own avocado margarita:

1 avocado, pitted and peeled
¾ cup of white tequila
¾ cup of triple sec
8 lime wheels
2 tablespoons of kosher salt
2 tablespoons of lime zest, finely grated
1 lime wedge
Pinch of cayenne

Cranberry

Cranberry often pairs well with vodka, but this ingredient quickly rises the ranks of popular margarita flavors. Whether you want a cool twist on a Thanksgiving drink or just want to try something new, this flavor offers a slight tartness to your drink.

When you add coconut to your drinks, you are instantly transported to an island vacation. Many people use coconut and rum for their tropical drinks, but it might be time to switch to tequila. The buttery flavors of the coconut add a little body to the citrusy taste of the tequila.

You can easily switch out your tequila for Rancho La Gloria’s original flavor cocktail, made with 100% Blue Weber Agave and real lime juice.

It can be tricky to get the right flavor combination as you don’t want to go too heavy on the sweet or tart.
