Our award-winning Margarita is delicious shaken over ice—but its real magic lies in its versatility. Whether you’re blending it into a frozen Marg or putting your own twist on the classic with fresh fruit or spice, this cocktail is made to be personalised. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you Make It Your Marg, built around three key pillars: Form, Flavour, and Garnish.
Form: How Will You Serve Yours?
There’s no wrong way to serve a Margarita—but here are three tried and tested methods to start with:
Shake with Ice
This is the classic serve. Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full with ice, add your Kocktail Margarita, and shake hard. Double strain into your favourite glass and enjoy.
Blend with Ice
For the ultimate frozen Margarita, simply add ice (or frozen fruit for added intensity) and blend until smooth. Ideal for warm weather or whenever you're in the mood for something fun.
Top with Soda
Craving a longer, lighter drink? Shake your Margarita with ice as usual, then pour into a highball glass filled with ice and top up with soda water for a refreshing twist.
Flavour: Make It Your Own
Here’s where you can get creative. Your Kocktail Margarita is the perfect canvas for bold new flavours. Add juice, syrup, pulp, or frozen fruit to build your own masterpiece.
Some of our favourite additions include:
- Passionfruit
- Watermelon
- Peach
- Strawberry
- Mango
- Grapefruit
- Chilli
- Basil
- Mint
Top tip: If using juice, we recommend 30ml per 100ml of Margarita. If you're blending, try frozen fruit for deeper flavour.
Garnish: The Finishing Touch
A salt rim is the traditional Margarita garnish—rub a lime around the rim of your glass, dip it in salt, and you’re set. But don’t be afraid to experiment.
Elevate your Margarita with garnishes like:
- Flavoured salts (chilli, lime zest, rose petals)
- Lime wedges
- Grapefruit slices
- Jalapeño
- Chilli salt rims
Top tip: Make your own flavoured salts by blitzing ingredients like chilli flakes or lime zest with coarse salt.

A Cocktail Worth Celebrating

Whether you go frozen, spicy, or fruity, one thing’s for sure: your Marg, your way, is always the best way.
