❓ Tajín Margarita FAQs
How do you make it less spicy?
Skip the Tajín on the rim and use plain salt instead for a traditional margarita flavor without the extra spice.
What’s the best tequila for margaritas?
Use a blanco (silver) tequila for a clean, crisp taste. Reposado can add more depth if you prefer a richer flavor.
