Is triple sec necessary for margaritas?
Nope! I rarely make margaritas with triple sec. I am a fan of adding some fresh orange juice if you're making a traditional margarita recipe, but for this particular raspberry margarita recipe, you don't need triple sec!
Can you add tonic water to margaritas?
Yes! I love tonic water and tequila. It has more flavor than traditional club soda, so if you're looking to make a low-calorie margarita, absolutely use diet tonic water to cut down on calories and sugar.
I personally love adding tonic water in margaritas because I don't love sugary drinks. Put a platter of cookies in front of me? They are gone in minutes. Give me a sugary drink? I will go pour myself a water. Not for me. I mean... my go-to drink is tequila sodas.
Raspberry Margarita on the rocks ingredients.
The fresh fruit is such a game-changer for this raspberry margarita. I like making this with raspberries, obviously, but here are the ingredients and some other substitutions you could use!
- Fresh Raspberries - if you don't have fresh raspberries, you can thaw some frozen ones. Alternatively, you could use strawberries!
- Lime Margarita Mix - I like the Trader Joe's margarita mix, but you can use your favorite.
- Fresh Lime - fresh limes are always a must when I'm making mixed drinks.
- Tequila - I am a fan of Hornitos Tequila, that's been my go-to for years!
- Tonic Water - like I said, I use diet tonic water, but you can use diet or regular. Whatever you prefer!
- Raspberries - if you want to add a fun and festive garnish, add some fresh raspberries on top.
