Although margaritas can always be enjoyed year-round (and we definitely follow that rule), many people see May as the kickoff to margarita season.

With warm summer weather and Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, we could think of no better way to honor one of our favorite cocktails than with a collection of 7 of our recipes for Fresh Margaritas on the Rocks.

You’ll find no blenders and no bottled mixers here. Just the freshest, most flavorful ingredients for your summer sipper.

Stick with the tried and true fresh margaritas on the rocks recipe (straight from the bartender of our favorite Mexican vacation resort) or sample one of our other flavorful combinations like blueberry, elderflower and key lime. There are no wrong choices here; just a lot of opportunities for delicious “experimentation”. (Tough gig, I know.)

3. Need to please a group of beer drinkers, too? Give them a glass of these 3-ingredient Beer Margaritas and turn those suds-loving souls into margarita fans after just one sip.

Elderflower Margarita

Today’s 3-ingredient Elderflower Margarita recipe is brought to you just in time for summer sipping season. Cheers!

4. Although we love elderflower liqueur in many different cocktails (our Elderflower Vodka  Lemonade might just be our second favorite summer cocktail), we were skeptical of including it in a margarita. Silly us. The slightly sweet and floral notes of the elderflower liqueur take the place of simple syrup in this recipe and are the perfect balance to the strongly flavored reposado tequila. The Elderflower Margarita is a must try.

Texas Margarita

This Spicy Margarita is a perfect summer sipper!

5. Craving a little kick in your cocktail? This Texas Margarita is for you. Pineapple juice and muddled jalapeño tickle your taste buds in this bold beverage - in a very good way.

Blueberry Margaritas

Don’t let the gorgeous color fool you into thinking this is a super sweet drink! Easy to make as a batch cocktail, these Blueberry Margaritas are my new favorite summer drink.

6. These fuschia-hued beauties may look sickly sweet, but the truth is our Blueberry Margaritas are far from overbearing. Fresh mint keeps the flavors in these margaritas light and bright while the blueberries lend their own natural sweetness to the mix resulting in a well-balanced drink that goes down far too easily.
