✨ Tips from Real Events:
Guests love this spicy rim — especially for bachelorettes and summer taco nights. We pre-rim glasses with Tajín and batch the base mix in a large container (minus the lime) to stay fresh. Add fresh lime at the last second for max brightness.
❓ FAQs:
Can I skip the agave syrup?
Yes — the triple sec already adds sweetness. Add agave only if you prefer a smoother finish. Or try a skinny margarita and swap out the triple sec/cointreau for orange juice.
What’s the best tequila?
Use blanco tequila for a clean, citrusy flavor. Casamigos, Espolòn, or Olmeca Altos are solid picks.
