There’s nothing more fun than a make your own Margarita Bar! Create one with ease for your next party or event and impress all of your guests!
Earlier this week I shared a post for how to Make Your Own Taco Bar, but it felt incomplete. Why, you ask? Because we all know you can’t have a tasty taco, without washing it down with a delicious margarita, thus I created the “Make Your Own Margarita Bar”!
When creating a “Make Your Own Bar” like the Mimosa Bar and Moscow Mule Bar I’ve shared on the blog, you want to keep it simple with just a couple of ingredients and no fancy techniques required! To do this with my margarita bar, I recommend using margarita cocktail mixers, preferably with natural ingredients like fresh squeezed juices, pure cane sugar and agave.
What you’ll need
- Margarita Glasses
- Tequila
- Ginger Beer
- Margarita Mixes
- Fruit & Herbs
- blood oranges
- blackberries
- mint
- pineapple
- strawberries
- pomegranate seeds
- mango
- blueberries
- Ramekins or Small Bowls for Fruit & Herbs
- Ice Bucket, Tongs & Ice
- Shakers
- Cutting Board & Knife
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
- Salt rim plate
- Shot Glasses
Optional additions:
- Coasters
- Muddler
- Sugar rim plate
Each guest can make their own margarita in just 3 simple steps!
- Add ice, tequila and margarita mix to a shaker.
- Rub a lime across the rim of a margarita glass, dip it in the salt
- Shake the margarita and pour it into the glass.
- Optional: Add the fruit and herbs of your choice by either muddling them in the shaker before adding the ice, or by adding them to the bottom of the glass before pouring in the margarita.
You can add a menu to the bar or let your guests make up their own Margarita flavor combinations!
