Margarita
Madness
Let’s face it, life is hard.
Having a grueling routine can take a toll on you. It’s day after day of getting up early for your corporate job, sitting at your desk while forcing yourself to laugh at your boss’ lame jokes and dramatic coworkers.
In between all of this chaos it’s important to make time for the things you love, like drinking MARGARITAS.
Whether you like them iced, frozen, with warm tequila (hard day?), or a mix of all of the above– we are here to show you killer margarita recipes that will have you and your señoritas ready to unwind.
All recipes can be changed from liquid to ‘thicc’ with the quick swap of a shaker and blender.
DISCLAIMER: TACOS ARE RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED
Original Margarita:
INGREDIENTS:
2 TBSP KOSHER SALT
1 LIME WEDGE, halved
2 ½ OZ OF MARGARITA MIX OF YOUR CHOICE
ICE
1 OZ TRIPLE SEC
1 ½ OZ OF CLEAR TEQUILA
1 COCKTAIL SHAKER.
We’re all over-worked, exhausted adults here so let’s not make Margaritas too difficult.
Use half of the lime wedge and glide it over the rim of your glass, then dip it in the kosher salt.
Next, put the remaining of the ingredients in the shaker and SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE.
Remember: Tequila is one sneaky b*tch.
Frozen Mango Margarita:
This also works well with any fruit, simply swap the Mango for your preferred fruit (Strawberry, Lychee and Watermelon are my fruits of choice)
INGREDIENTS:
1 LIME WEDGE, halved
1 CUP OF ICE
½ CUP OF FROZEN MANGO (fresh mango works fine as well)
1 OZ TRIPLE SEC
1 ½ OZ OF CLEAR TEQUILA
½ OZ OF SQUEEZED LIME
2 TBSP OF SALT OR SUGAR
A BLENDER
Grab the halved lime wedge and glide it over the rim, dip it in either salt or sugar for a sweeter taste.
Now, instead of shaking, we’re gonna BLEND. Put all of the ingredients into the blender and wait until it gets thick.

Last but not least, I know some of you are all about that #fitlife and what better way to rehydrate after an exhausting workout than with some margaritas to quench the thirst!
Have no worries though, we’re making this one a skinny.
If you choose this option, just know you’re my hero. Just know that I want to be like you when I grow up and I for sure, 10/10 won’t be (extra sugar for me, please.)
Skinny Margarita
INGREDIENTS:
1 ½ OZ OF CLEAR TEQUILA
2 TBSP OF LIME JUICE
1 LIME WEDGE, halved
2 TEASPOONS OF AGAVE NECTAR
1 TBSP OF ORANGE JUICE
1 COCKTAIL SHAKER
By this point in the article, you are a pro at what to do when life gives you lemons: GLIDE THEM AROUND THE RIM AND POUR TEQUILA.
The rest is history (and also pretty easy.) Pour al thel ingredients into the cocktail shaker (or to a blender with ice) and shake + pour to enjoy a guilt-free treat.
Enjoy those margaritas because when you really think about it, this is technically a juice cleanse.
I said what I said.
