Why 21 and not, say, 25? The legal drinking age (here) is 21, so I thought, as an adult (legally speaking), sourcing out these 21 best Margarita recipes might come across as “responsible”. Let’s go with that.

Fresh is always best. Look for the darkest in color while in season. Otherwise buy frozen.
We are lucky in New England to have wild blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. I pick them when ripe and freeze in small zip bags. They are convenient for muffins, tea breads and smoothies…and of course, cocktails!
The big batch recipe for these Prosecco Margaritas is perfect for entertaining. Prosecco bubbles are simply magical. Agree?
Oh my…Two margaritas in one! Make the Blackberry and Peach margarita separately and then pour and layer. The skewered fresh blackberries let the guest know what the drink is made from. Always a nice touch.
This food & lifestyle photographer and a full-time blogger says her Strawberry Champagne Margarita has just right amount of sweet and salty with a strawberry twist.
Tart and sweet blood oranges are a nice alternative to the traditional lime margarita. The addition of kiwi fruit adds tropical flavor.
A LOT of trial and error went into this blogger’s perfect drink. The Tequila Sunrise Margarita takes two well-loved cocktails and spices it up a bit. And it’s worthy of all the sampling it took to get it just right!
Blanco tequila is a pure form of the agave-based alcohol. It’s the ingredient that gives the Coconut Cream Lime Margarita its character.
Here’s another way to use all that basil you grow every year.
To make the Watermelon and Basil Margarita, the watermelon is cut up and blended, and fine-strained. Then it’s add to a cocktail shaker with the lime juice, basil simple syrup and tequila.
The sweet-tart taste of grapefruit is a perfect fruit base for the Spicy Grapefruit Margarita. Swap out other juices to suit your taste, or season. Pomegranate, mango or pineapple would all be delicious choices.
Next to sweet tea, this blogger says her Fresh Frozen Blueberry Lime Margarita is “possibly my favorite drink!”
This blogger is hilarious!
“I’m not allowed to make margaritas for my family any more. Apparently, all you have to do to get taken off margarita duty is get grandma drunk one time. Once!”
Her Sangria Swirled Frozen Margarita the best combo ever. Everyone, even grandmas, should try this.
Live a little on the daring side. Blend the jalapenos in with the strawberries.
Make the Cranberry Margarita using store-bought cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice. The bloggers says that if you’re feeling “fancy” make your own. She’s included an easy tutorial in the recipe.
17. Ginger Lime Margaritas
The special ingredient in this Ginger Margarita is ginger juice.
Throwing my two cents in here, because I love fresh ginger. Float a slice of fresh ginger on the top. Also, simple syrup made with fresh ginger is so good. I sometimes add it to club soda…okay, that makes it ginger ale. But really good ginger ale!
Let’s just say that the ice-cream truck that came around our neighborhood carried Creamsicles, never Creamsicle Margaritas. Every mother would have raced their kids to get in front of the line.
Happy wife, happy life. This blogger created a perfect cocktail for his wife.
The coconut milk provides richness and texture to the Frozen Kiwi Coconut Margarita. He added a bit of simple syrup for extra sweetness. You decide.
A little less sweet and a lot more spice. This blogger describes her Spicy Pineapple Margarita as “literally a fiesta in a glass.”
This mixologist combined two of his favorite cocktails — the Negroni and the Margarita — to create a tequila, orange and compari cocktail, aka the Italian Margarita.
We love our Margaritas. Leave it to these creative souls to test, test and test their best version of a true classic cocktail. It’s tough work, but as the saying goes, somebody’s gotta do it!
