Plus, this bubbly drink is sooooooo easy to make. No blenders or fancy equipment needed! Just stir or shake and serve!

How To Make Homemade Margarita Rimming Mix

You will love combining sweet and salty to make your own margarita mix for rimming the glass.

1. Combine ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons Kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of lime zest. 
2. Pour onto a plate.
3. Wet the rim of each glass with water or lime juice.
4. Dip each glass into the margarita rimming mix.

Pro Tips 

• Both tequila and champagne can have high price points. Go all out and buy top-shelf versions of both or pick one to splurge on. 
• Don’t forget to garnish. Rim the glass with homemade margarita salt/sugar and garnish with a lime. 
• Pick a bottle of balanced champagne, rather than one that is too sweet or too dry. 

Delicious Variations

• Go Pink – Pink is a lot of fun for a bridal shower or festive girls night out. Swap out the traditional champagne for pink champagne for a lovely twist. 
• Try Vodka – No tequila on hand? No problem. Use vodka instead. 
• Add Orange Juice – If you don’t have Triple Sec available, you can use fresh orange juice instead. 

Storage 

Champagne starts to go flat pretty quickly. I wouldn’t recommend making these cocktails in advance or trying to store any leftovers.
