One of the most popular drinks of all time has to be the Margarita. The combination of tequila, lime, and triple sec is delicious, simple, and a great way to explore the flavors of tequila.

It’s also a great base for experimentation, as these recipes from brand Tres Agaves Tequila show. There are three variations on the classic recipe: a mint and strawberry version for the fruit lovers, a version incorporating orgeat and vanilla for those who want a bakery twist, and an avocado version for those who love their savorys.
