How to Set Up a 3-Flavor Margarita Bar

• Make the Base Recipe:

  • 3 parts Tequila

  • 2 parts Triple Sec

  • 1 part fresh lime juice

Just follow the ratio above (3-2-1) to make any quantity desired; a single drink or an entire pitcher full.

• Make the Simple Syrup:

  • 1 part water
  • 1 part sugar

  Again, make any amount, just follow the ratio (1 to 1). All you have to do is simmer until sugar is dissolved, then chill.

• Prepare Flavored Purees by combining different ingredients with the Simple Syrup. Here are some options:

  • Strawberry–2 cups Simple Syrup with 2 cups hulled strawberries.
  • Pineapple-Jalapeno–2 cups Simple Syrup with 2 cups chopped fresh or canned pineapple and 1/2 fresh seeded jalapeno
  • Peach–2 cups Simple Syrup with 2 cups canned or fresh peaches

  Put each flavor in a separate pitcher and keep the pitchers in a drink tub filled with ice.

• Create A Garnish Tray–Garnishes make the drink so don’t forget this part! At a minimum, offer fresh fruit garnishes including limes, lemons and oranges. Then to make is special, add garnishes to match the flavors you have chosen (strawberries, peaches…).
• Create Flavored Salt–In a food processor pulse together citrus zest and kosher salt (one flavor at a time). Good choices are lime zest, lemon zest and orange zest.
• Set up the Margarita Bar–In addition to the pitchers of flavored purees, the flavored salts and the garnish tray, set out an ice bucket and margarita glasses.
• Make the Best Margarita Ever!–For each margarita:

  • Rim the Glass–Dip glass in Simple Syrup then flavored salt of your choice (ex. if making a Strawberry Margarita, maybe you want lemon salt).
  • Fill glass with ice
  • Add Base Margarita Mix until glass is 3/4 full
  • Add Flavored Puree of choice to top off glasss
  • Stir and enjoy!

  You can easily make Frozen Margaritas by combining ingredients in a blender and then pouring into your rimmed glasses.

Set up a Margarita Bar and offer your guests different flavor options along with zesty rimming salt and fresh garnishes. Your guests will appreciate the extra effort and novelty of being able to choose their own margarita flavor.
