It’s that time of the year where my favorite holiday rolls around. Cinco De Mayo is around the corner, and you need to be ready for the weekend festivities. May 5th falls on a Sunday this year, so be sure to take full advantage.

A good margarita recipe always starts with good quality tequila, but that’s not a requirement for this list. These recipes up the ante of every margarita because of their unique flavors. We’re here to lend a little assistance with a foolproof list of margaritas for every taste. So grab your cocktail shaker, fresh lime juice, some triple sec, and a little bit of kosher salt for the rim, and let’s get started.

1. Strawberry Margarita

This is the first cousin to the classic margarita, but it just might be the best. The frozen strawberries send this over the edge in the best way possible and the sweet and salty rim of the glass is truly perfection. Top your yummy homemade margarita with a fresh strawberry garnish.

Believe the hype! Get the recipe here.

2. Grilled Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita

Tangy and spicy. My first spicy margarita was a unique experience and I haven’t looked back since. This spicy margarita has a kick of heat from the jalapeño infused tequila and is balanced out by the sweetness of agave syrup and tang from the lime juice.

Skip the lime wedge and serve this with a chunk of pineapple, bonus points if it’s grilled! Serve with your favorite tacos and guacamole. Get the recipe here.

3. Moscow Mule Margarita

The Moscow Mule craze is definitely here to stay, and the simple syrup can even be made in a lime version with squeezed fresh lime juice to really bring this recipe over the top.

4. Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Margarita

The only thing better than this might be a pair of grapefruit margaritas, but why go fancy when you can go classic? Get the recipe here.

5. Cranberry Margarita

Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love cranberry juice? Now, let’s add a little silver tequila.

A dash of orange juice or Cointreau orange liqueur really brings this delicious cocktail recipe over the top. Get the recipe here.

6. Prickly Pear Margarita

Nothing says early summer quite like prickly pear in Texas, and it is one seriously amazing base for the best margarita recipe.

A few ice cubes crushed up, and you’re ready to celebrate any occasion at all! Get the recipe here.
