In this section I will share all natural margarita ingredients, so you can make your margarita in a healthier way… and likely avoid any hangovers that processed sugar and alcohol mixed can cause.

The mixer margarita ingredients below can be frozen! I like to make the margarita mix (less the alcohol) and freeze it into ice cubes. It makes the best margarita recipes in a flash… especially frozen margaritas!

The Margarita Ingredients:

• Tequila
• Orange liquor
• Fresh lime juice
• Fresh orange juice
• Agave syrup
• Salt

I find that these ingredients make the best Cadillac margarita recipes, and blended frozen margarita recipes.

You may find that many homemade margarita recipes don’t often include orange juice, and I will explain more on this later. But adding a sweeter citrus fruit to the margarita mixer allows me to cut the agave and orange liquor, saving lots of calories and sugar!
