A refreshing margarita variation with muddled fresh cucumber adding a cool, vegetal freshness to the classic tequila-lime-orange formula. Popular at brunch and summer gatherings.

Cucumber Margarita

The fresh-juice Paloma — a squeeze of fresh grapefruit and lime combined with tequila and agave nectar, topped with soda water for effervescence. Using fresh grapefruit instead of grapefruit soda intensifies the bright, bittersweet citrus character.

Grapefruit Paloma

The spicy margarita in its most direct form — fresh jalapeño muddled and shaken with silver tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. The capsaicin from the jalapeño creates a slow-building heat that lingers pleasantly on the palate, balanced by the citrus-sweet framework.

Jalapeño Margarita

Ripe mango and tequila in a frothy egg-white sour -- tropical sweetness balanced with lime's tartness for a silky, sunshine cocktail.

Mezcal Sour

Philip Ward's 2007 Death & Co creation splits the base between reposado tequila and smoky mezcal, sweetened with agave nectar and rounded by Angostura — a flamed orange twist crowns the glass and turns the classic Old Fashioned template into something earthy and magnetic.

Oaxaca Old Fashioned

A smoky twist on the Pisco Sour template — mezcal's campfire character meets lime and agave nectar in an egg-white foam, with a dramatic Angostura art pattern on top for a cocktail that is as visually striking as it is complex.

Oaxacan Sour

A tropical margarita variation using passion fruit liqueur in place of traditional orange liqueur. The passion fruit's floral tartness and vivid color make this a popular modern variant at tropical-themed bars.

A jewel-toned margarita variation where pomegranate's tart-sweet juice deepens the usual tequila, lime, and agave build, finished with a salt rim for saline contrast.

Pomegranate Margarita

A salt-rimmed Paloma variant made with tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, and lime served over ice in a highball glass. The salt rim and agave nectar elevate what is otherwise a simple grapefruit-tequila highball.

Salty Chihuahua

A jalapeño-muddled margarita where fresh chili heat rides on agave and lime, with a salted rim framing the tequila's bright, peppery bite.

Spicy Margarita

Mezcal's smokiness amplified by muddled jalapeño heat in a frothy agave sour -- bold, smoky, and spicy with a cooling egg white texture.

Spicy Mezcal Sour

A Paloma with a jalapeño kick — fresh grapefruit juice and tequila form the familiar base while muddled jalapeño slices add penetrating heat that builds slowly, balanced by agave nectar and a salted rim. A popular modern upgrade on Mexico's favorite cocktail.
