Margarita Syrup

This is the syrup that turns "I want a margarita" into "give me five minutes." Ours blends real lime, tangerine, and blood orange purees so you don't need to chop, juice, or pull out the Cointreau — it's all already in the bottle. Just add tequila.

Pour 1.5 oz over ice with 2 oz tequila, salt the rim, done. Prefer it up? Shake with ice and strain into a coupe. Skinnies, frozens, mocktails, batched pitchers for a backyard party — it all starts with one bottle and gets more interesting from there. Add a splash to mezcal for a smokier version. Mix with non-alcoholic spirits and sparkling water for a margarita-style mocktail that doesn't taste like flat lime soda.

Tasting Notes: bright lime, soft blood orange, tangerine sweetness, rounded citrus finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the syrup last after opening?
A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.

Q: Do I still need triple sec or Cointreau when I use Margarita syrup?
A: No — that's actually one of the reasons it exists. Our Margarita Syrup already contains the orange element (tangerine and blood orange purees) that triple sec or Cointreau would add to a traditional margarita. Just combine it with tequila and ice and you're done. If you love the kick of an orange liqueur, you can still add a splash, but it's not necessary for a balanced drink.

Q: Is the Margarita syrup overly sweet?
A: Less sweet than commercial sour mix or pre-bottled margarita mixers. The tartness comes from real lime puree and lime concentrate, not just sugar, so the citrus reads bright instead of cloying. Most people find a 1.5 oz pour (with 2 oz tequila) hits the right balance — adjust up or down to taste.
