My Lemonade Margarita is a twist on a traditional margarita. Sweet and tangy lemonade paired with margarita mix and tequila. A delicious summer drink to sip on the patio!
I love a refreshing cocktail as the weather gets warmer. My husband and I are big fans of margaritas and always thinking of new flavors and mixtures. We are also lovers of lemonade and love using lemonade in drinks.
Lemonade in a margarita creates a super citrusy drink that is super easy to make. I use a homemade margarita mix for my drink, but a store bought limeade is delicious as well. A margarita recipe with lemonade is a winner every time.
I love to make the drink mix in a pitcher or large mason jar for easy access for a cool drink when the mood hits me. Lemonade and tequila is such a delicious combination for a margarita.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use silver tequila?
I honestly prefer it, and have not tested this recipe with a different type of tequila.
Should I use sweetened lemonade or just lemon juice?
I use a traditional sweetened lemonade, but that is because I like this drink on the sweet side. Unsweetened would work but, the drink will be a on the tart side.
Do I need the fresh lemonade?
No, frozen or store bought works just fine for my Lemonade Margaritas.
