How to Make the Ultimate Summer Margarita

There's nothing like a freshly shaken margarita to signal the start of summer—and when it's served in a stunning ribbed coupe glass with a vibrant Tajín rim, you get elegance, flavor, and flair in one glass.

Why the Glass Matters

Most people default to rocks glasses for their margaritas, but the ribbed coupe glass adds a touch of sophistication and enhances presentation. It gives your cocktail the spotlight it deserves—plus, the wide mouth is perfect for bold garnishes like lime wheels and Tajín rims.

  • Tajín seasoning (for rim)
  • Fresh Lime Wheel (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes

Pro Tips for Styling Your Margarita

  • Use fresh citrus for a juicy, vibrant look.
  • Highlight the Tajín rim with natural light or light backdrops.
  • Add a bar spoon, shaker, or citrus wedge on the side for an editorial vibe.
