This spicy margarita with jalapeno by Rob’s Home Bar is the perfect drink for those who love the extra kick. Margaritas have a combination of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami flavors. They are typically made out of three ingredients–tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, but this version has an addition of jalapeno slices and ginger beer. It is a nice spin on a classic cocktail drink.

While there’s always a time and place for a classic margarita (or one of its many highly drinkable variations ), there’s so much more you can do with tequila. There are also more varieties of each style, from añejo to reposado to blanco, available in the United States than ever, thanks to the agave spirit’s meteoric rise in the past 20 years. In fact, more tequila is now sold in the U.S. than in any other country, including Mexico. Why not make the most of all this agave abundance by getting creative behind the bar? From underrated classics like Palomas and Tequila Sunrises to refreshing riffs on the Negroni and Old-Fashioned , here are the best tequila cocktail recipes.

22 Tequila Cocktail Recipes That Go Way Beyond Margaritas

The Lemon Drop Martini is a classy citrus sipper that's served with a frosty, sugar-studded rim. It's also super easy to craft at home and tastes like liquid candy. Could there be anything better than a cocktail that tastes like candy? Obviously, this is a rhetorical question for true lovers of both candy and cocktails. The better question is which cocktail tastes like candy without tasting too sweet or, even worse, cloying.

I used to make margaritas the old-fashioned way—freshly-squeezed lime juice, simple syrup, orange liquor, and tequila, of course. And then I tasted Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Limeade and got wise. It is such a good mixer that it's now my go-to way of making margaritas the lazy way.

If there were a hierarchy of classic cocktails, it would not be easy to rank drinks like the Martini, Daiquiri, and Mint Julep. Luckily, we don’t have to. We can love them all. It does get easier if you’re going to list the top cocktails based on the base spirit alone. If you’re going to attempt to make a list of the top whiskey mixed drinks, we can all agree that (along with the Manhattan), there are few whiskey-based cocktails more beloved than the iconic Old Fashioned.

Once you start exploring the world of cocktails, you won't make it too far until you encounter tequila. Of course, there's the classic margarita, but the tequila sunrise is another all-time favorite. One of the most immediately-recognizable drinks around, the tequila sunrise is a no-frills cocktail that combines only a few ingredients, yet it's known for its characteristic appearance. Tequila and orange juice is fine enough, but the addition of grenadine is what gives the tequila sunrise the gradience that it's known for, mimicking the orange-to-red ombre of an earthly sunrise. The tequila sunrise has permeated pop culture, coming to fame in the 1970s and '80s when Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, supposedly favored them while on tour, and when an Eagles song of the same name hit the Hot 100. But the tequila sunrise has an oft-neglected relative, a drink that comes with promise, but is a little bit harder to pin down.
