What Tequila To Use

When it comes to making a margarita, it’s important to use a good quality tequila that complements the other ingredients in the cocktail. Blanco or silver tequila is the most commonly used type of tequila for margaritas, as it has a clean, crisp flavor that works well with citrus and sweet flavors.

Some popular tequila brands that are often used in margaritas include Patrón, Don Julio, and Casamigos. However, there are many other good quality tequilas available that can be used in margaritas, depending on your personal preference and budget.

It’s important to note that tequila is a matter of personal taste, and what works well in one person’s margarita may not work well in another’s. It’s always a good idea to experiment with different tequilas and find the one that you enjoy the most in your margarita.

How To Make A Black Magic Margarita

Wet the rim of a margarita glass by wiping a lime slice around the top of the glass. Dip the glass in the black sanding sugar to coat the rim and set aside.

Fill the glass with ice taking care not to get the sanding sugar rim wet. Add the lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Stir well to combine.

Add one drop each of the red, blue, and green food colorings and stir. Continue adding until your desired blackness is achieved. Add edible glitter and stir, if using.
