  • Fruity: Muddle 3 blackberries with agave syrup in a cocktail shaker until berries are lightly crushed and juices are released. Continue with above recipe.
  • Spicy: Muddle 2 thin rounds of jalapeno with agave syrup in a cocktail shaker until peppers begin to fall apart. For a less-spicy version, remove the seeds first. Continue with above recipe.
  • Bright: Steep 1 hibiscus teabag or 1 teaspoons dried hibiscus flowers with 4 oz. of hot water for 10 minutes. Discard tea bag/flowers and let tea cool. Gently spoon some tea OVER margarita, forming a red layer on top. (STUNNING!).

I'm not a fan of tequila, but this margarita was still really good. The agave nectar and lime juice really balanced out the tequila flavor.

I made this margarita for my friends last night and they all raved about it. I'll definitely be making it again.

I'm allergic to agave. Is there anything else I can use in this recipe?

This margarita was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less agave nectar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of margaritas, but this one was really good. The agave nectar gave it a nice sweetness that I really enjoyed.
