This Christmas, my friend gifted me a bottle of Casamigos Tequila, and to her surprise, I hadn't tried it yet. Fast forward to this weekend, I finally had the chance to put the gift to use!

With hints of vanilla and grapefruit, it's the perfect flavor packed addition to any happy hour festivities!

How to Make Margaritas with Casamigos Tequila
Grab your Casamigos Tequila and let me show you how to shake up the perfect Margarita, with a few additional tips in each step to ensure the best sip:
- Prep the glass
If you enjoy a salted rim, you'll want to start by prepping the glass first so you can enjoy your Margarita right after making it. - Make the marg
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine all required ingredients. Be sure to give everything a good shake. You'll know it's ready to enjoy when the sides of the glass are frosted. - Serve & Garnish
To your prepared glass filled with fresh ice, give your shaken mixture a good strain. Top your drink off with a lime wedge for a pop of flavor. Enjoy!
Garnishing a Casamigos Margarita
This drink is best enjoyed with a salted or sugared rim and a lime wedge for additional flavor! Other fun ways you can liven this cocktail up are by skewering lime wedges on a cocktail pick for a fancier look or by pairing this drink with a garnish of a dehydrated orange slice for a pop of citrusy flavor.
What to Serve with This Incredible Margarita
A Margarita this delicious needs to be paired with something equally as flavorful! Serve this cocktail with my Jamaican jerk chicken tacos or these Asian Thai rib tacos topped with my easy blender salsa for the perfect bite!
