Layers of fun ingredients such as toasted coconut, fresh strawberries, pisco, blood oranges and even vodka make these twists on the original margarita worth raising a glass to.

Top with the sour mix and soda and garnish with two lime wedges. Blood Orange Margaritas from Smitten Kitten Note: If you don\u2019t have triple sec or cointreau, simple syrup will make for an equally sweet but less boozy result.Serves 2, but only if you share. Ingredients: 1\/2 cup blood orange juice 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 3 tablespoons triple sec or cointreau, or more to taste 7 tablespoons white or \u201csilver\u201d tequila Lime or blood orange slices for garnish, plus some of those drink umbrellas Method: Mix. Fill two glasses with ice and divide between them. Garnish. Drink and daydream. Fresh Strawberry Coconut Margaritas from How Sweet it Is   Serves 1 Ingredients: 2 ounces Grand Marnier 1 1\/2 ounces silver tequila 2 ounces lime juice 2 ounces coconut water 2 ounces cream de coconut 2 1\/2 ounces strawberry simple syrup [recipe below] Lime and fresh strawberries for garnish Salt, sugar and toasted finely shredded coconut for the rim Method: Rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in a mix of margarita salt, sugar, toasted coconut [I used about 3 tablespoons salt to 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 1\/2 tablespoons toasted coconut]. Fill the glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup, coconut water, cream de coconut and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 60 seconds. Pour over ice and squeeze in lime slices and add a few strawberries. A slight bit of separation may occur from the cream de coconut, so shake well! For strawberry simple syrup: combine equal parts sugar and water, bring to a boil and let sugar dissolve, then turn off heat and let cool completely. Combine 1 cup simply syrup and 1 1\/2 cups slices strawberries in a blender and blend until combined. I don\u2019t mind strawberry seeds, but if you\u2019d like you can strain the mixture over a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.Spicy Margarita from Food RepublicIngredients:3 slices of muddled red peppers2 parts Herradura Tequila3\/4 parts Cointreau1\/2 parts lime juice1\/2 parts simple syrupPinch of cilantroMethod:Combine all ingredients in a shaker and then pour into a glass with ice.\u00a0Garnish with a slice of red pepper.  "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Update on the Classic: 5 Fun Margaritas","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/update-on-the-classic-margaritas\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
