The Perfect Tools to Make the Perfect Margarita

I’ve included shop-able ad links to the products we use to make our margarita recipes at home; disclosure policy here.

  • Vitamix high-powered blender — This is one of our favorite kitchen tools period! All of our previous blenders burned out so quickly, but Vitamix blenders are built to last (so they’re worth the splurge). Save a ton of money by buying a refurbished model like we did!
  • Stainless steel Boston Shakers — As former bartenders, both my husband and I swear by this simple set of steel shaker tins. You don’t need a fancy (or expensive) cocktail shaker to get the job done right!
  • Margarita glasses — This is the classic vessel for a margarita, and makes any margarita recipe look amazing! I’m notorious for accidentally breaking glassware when I wash it, so I prefer the unbreakable version!

More of our favorite Cinco de Mayo Recipes:

A new twist on a summer classic — this key lime poke cake will have you dreaming of sunny days & ocean waves! An easy dessert with tangy lime in every bite!

Creamy Key Lime Poke Cake

This truly is the PERFECT Spanish Rice recipe -- passed down through generations and practiced to get it just right. A classic Mexican food staple.
