I save single-serve glass juice bottles and use those to store my fresh squeezed lime juice. Grab a bag of lime and a low priced juicer – I bought one on Amazon for under $20. And fresh lime juice is part of my must-have ingredients. #2 Use Fresh Lime Juiceįor me, there’s nothing better than a perfectly mixed margarita. There are a lot of tequilas on the market today, check reviews, and ask for recommendations from the liquor store staff. High quality doesn’t need to be expensive. I do love blackberries for an Autumnal version of Tequila Fizz or try cranberries for a Festive Tequila Fizz.Tips to Make Perfect Margaritas #1 Use Good Tequilaįor the best results use a high-quality tequila, made with 100 percent agave. Pretty much any other berries will work well. You can swap in other berries too, depending on what’s in season or what you have and enjoy. Use frozen strawberries – they will just need to sit and extra 10-15 minutes in the agave and lime mix to soften before muddling. Strawberry Tequila Fizz is the perfect summer drink, but you can enjoy it all year round even when strawberries are not in season. Who doesn’t love some sweet and juicy strawberries? I am Scottish, and we do have the very best Strawberries in the world. If you want a lower alcohol version you can use non-alcoholic sparkling wine or even soda water or lemonade. Both regular and rosé sparkling wine work well for this strawberry cocktail. You can use Prosecco, Cava, Cremant or even Champagne if you are feeling super luxe. Strawberry Tequila Fizz works well with pretty much any type of sparkling wine. Sparkling Wine MargaritaĪs much as I love a classic margarita, there is something special about topping it up with some sparkling wine for a little fizz. If you are really not a tequila fan then you can swap it out for either gin or vodka in Strawberry Fizz – it will still taste delicious. If you are looking for a good budget tequila for cocktails I highly recommend Olmeca Altos Plata which you can find in most major supermarkets for under £25.
My favourite tequila for cocktails is Gran Centenario Plata – it’s not too expensive but tastes delicious alone or in a cocktail. But Reposado tequila also works well and Mezcal is great if you prefer a bit of a smoky taste. One thing I do know for sure is that the better the quality of tequila you drink, the lesser your hangover symptoms will be the next day if you overindulge.īlanco (also called Plata or Silver) tequila is, in my opinion, the best choice for cocktails. Not only does it taste so much better than mixed tequila, but studies show it may actually be beneficial for your health. If you are making a tequila cocktail you NEED to use 100% agave tequila. We’ve got the typical margarita ingredients tequila, lime and agave but the addition of muddled strawberries and sparkling wine take it to the next level. Strawberry Tequila Fizz is a bit like a fancy strawberry margarita with prosecco. My Irn Bru Margarita and Amaretto Orange Margaritas are always on request at any social gathering. It’s no secret that I love a good Margarita. Strawberry Tequila Fizz is the perfect summer cocktail! Easy to make and refreshing with a sophisticated fizz – perfect for al fresco drinks with a side of Guacamole. Take your margarita to the next level with strawberries and sparkling wine.
