What Juice goes Good with Tequila?

Tequila is a remarkably versatile spirit when paired with different juices. In fact, many of its most iconic cocktails are juice-based: the Tequila Sunrise, Tequila Sunset, Paloma… and even the Margarita! Tip: for the best results, use freshly squeezed juice from fresh fruit. Using a juicer will help you enjoy cocktails on an entirely different level.

But then, which juice should I use to prepare my tequila cocktails? 

It depends, as this is a very personal choice. Here we present the most popular juices to pair with tequila, along with the cocktails typically prepared with them; the final choice is yours.

• Fresh Lime Juice 

Squeeze a lime, keeping one of the wedges for a garnish, and you will have the foundation of the most famous tequila cocktail: the Margarita. It might seem too easy to be true, but simple doesn’t have to mean basic. You can also use this juice to create a Blue Margarita, an exotic twist on the classic, or even a Cucumber Margarita.

• Strawberry Juice 

We couldn’t overlook the strawberry version of the Margarita. Strawberry juice, alongside orange and lime juice, is one of the most frequently used in mixology. Its natural sweetness balances perfectly with the bold character of tequila.

• Lemon Juice 

Another variation you will enjoy is lemon juice. With it, you can craft a Lemon Margarita, similar to the original serve but with a distinctive, sharp edge.

• Orange Juice (or Blood Orange Juice) 

One of the finest tequila cocktails, though perhaps less known to the wider public, is the Blood Orange Margarita. It is a brilliant example of how mixing orange juice, in this case, blood orange, with tequila is always a guaranteed success.

• Passion Fruit Juice 

This is a less common pairing for tequila cocktails, but if you are looking to move beyond the usual serves, it is an excellent option. With it, you can prepare a Passion Fruit Margarita, offering a flavour that is both refreshing and distinct from its counterparts. To try this version, you will only need a jigger and a cocktail shaker.

• Pineapple Foam 

Finally, you can also try mixing pineapple juice with Altos Plata. This combination creates a natural, velvety pineapple foam when shaken vigorously, adding a sophisticated texture to your drink without needing extra ingredients. The tropical sweetness of the pineapple highlights the herbal and citrus notes of our Plata tequila, resulting in a refreshing and vibrant serve.
