Customize your drink, improve your life.

The Original Margarita with Cointreau plus four thrilling variations by Bon Appétit Editors. 

It’s refreshing, naturally sweet without added sugar, and just look at that PINK!

Do you have a Negroni recipe memorized? You probably should.

Margaritas are always wearing their party hats.

Strong, shaken, and sooooo easy to drink.

Inspired by the quintessential version served at Curra’s Grill in Austin. Trust us, it’s good!

Out of tequila? Never fear: Using vodka instead makes this watermelon margarita recipe just as delicious.

It's time to add some cilantro to your margarita.

Attention: Also delicious with mint in place of the cilantro (some people really hate cilantro).

For this Thanksgiving-in-a-glass cocktail, feel free to sub (thawed) frozen cranberries for fresh.

No sugar here—this margarita get its sweetness from agave syrup. Choose your favorite tequila blanco for the base.

This spicy margarita recipe gets its heat from habaneros and acidity from grapefruit. Adjust the steeping time depending on how spicy you want to go!
