I love sipping on a good margarita when it’s a beautiful, sunny day, but sometimes margaritas can be a pain to make because of all the ingredients.

There’s also an art to making a good one, as they tend to be either too sweet or too sour. So I simplified the margarita and just added tequila to lemonade.

The great thing about this cocktail, if you’re entertaining, is that you can prepare everything before so you’re not muddling, shaking or mixing during your party. You can easily turn this into a batch cocktail. It’s much easier to make than our lemon margarita recipe, which is equally as good!

How To Make Lemonade Margarita

Ingredients

Lemonade – Store-bought lemonade will make this recipe super simple. However, if you prefer homemade lemonade that is great too,.

Tequila – Use a gold or blanco tequila for this recipe.

Lime Juice – Fresh squeezed.

Salt the rim of your glass, pour in lemonade, tequila and squeeze a lime wedge.

Stir and then top with ice.

You can use a shaker if you want, but to make it easier you don’t have to.

The Perfect Margarita For Summer Parties

Margaritas are light, zesty and refreshing, making them perfect party thirst quenchers, especially in summer.

This simple lemonade margarita is even more party-ready because it only has 3 ingredients. Not only that but you can make them ahead of time, so less fuss when the party is on!

How To Rim Your Glass

Some cocktails call for you to rim the glass and margaritas are a classic example. Rimming the glass is easy and adds an exciting twist to the drink. You can use a rimming dish, but a normal plate will do just fine. Here are the steps:

  • Get two small plates.
  • Fill one with water and one with salt.
  • Dip the rim of the glass staright down into the water, then straight into the salt.

Pitcher of Lemonade Margaritas

This is the easiest batch cocktail recipe and perfect for a large pitcher.

Just multiply the recipe by the number of guests.

Add everything into a pitcher (except the ice) and store it in the refrigerator. 

A few minutes before guests arrive, add in the ice and serve!

  1. Is the first ingredient supposed to be lemon juice or lemonade?It doesn’t seem logical to add sugar to prepared lemonade.
