This tasty margarita uses your classic margarita ingredients plus 100% grape juice for a super simple drink. Great for Cinco de Mayo or any day of the week!
My love of margaritas should need no introduction. This is my 23rd margarita recipe. There is a category in my menu section devoted to margaritas if you need more ideas. But in case you’re new here, Hi my name is Lisa and I love tequila and I love margaritas.
Ingredients for grape margarita
For this margarita, I used 100% grape juice, Contrary to the photos, the grapes are just a prop. It’s simply just bottled grape juice. I used the classic margarita ingredients which are tequila, orange liqueur-typically triple sec or Cointreau, lime juice, and sometimes a sour mix or simple syrup. I prefer fresh squeezed lime juice, but if you’re in a pinch, bottled lime juice works too. For this margarita, the grape juice was enough for the drink to not need any simple syrup or sweet and sour mix.
Recipe
The recipe couldn’t be any simpler. Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, grape juice and ice to a shaker with ice and pour into a salt rimmed glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
