This is lemonade margarita is the easiest margarita you’ll ever make. It only has 3 ingredients and can be made ahead of time, it’s a simple yet perfect party cocktail.

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!
