Commonly Asked Questions

Can I replace tequila with other liquor?

Definitely! You can use gin, vodka, or rum. You may use the same ingredients we used in this recipe and replace the tequila with these options to make your margarita.

Is salt necessary to put around the rim?

We recommend adding salt around the rim as this tones down the level of bitterness of your drink while it enhances the sweet and sour blast of flavor of the alcohol mix. We suggest using kosher salt for this one, but feel free to replace it with sugar if you like.
