1. Grapefruit Hibiscus Margarita
This Grapefruit Hibiscus Margarita sounds like a dream for a summer day with the minty-tart combo of flavors. Plus? Hibiscus simple syrup? Sold!
2. Coconut Margarita
What is a summer margarita round-up without a staple Coconut Margarita?! It’s nothing. That’s what it is.

What do you get when you combine a little spice a little sour and a little sweet? You get an incredible Chili Lime Mango Margarita. I can only imagine it’s like eating spicy food where your tongue can’t keep up with your heart’s desire.

A Cucumber Ginger Margarita sounds to me like the most refreshingly crisp margarita you could possibly have by your side as you float around the pool on a giant donut tube. Also the perfect recipe for a ‘rita served “up” (that means no ice).

Another sweet and spicy dream pairing is this Jalapeño Watermelon Margarita. Ask anyone what they think of when someone says “summer food” and nine times out of ten they’ll tell you watermelon. This is perfect for the grown-up version of that fave.

The worst part about most poolside or tropical getaways is the inevitable sunburn. This Sunburnt Margarita knows your struggle. The satsumas, agave and blood oranges want you to know everything is going to be okay.
