Don't get us wrong—we still love a margarita, but there's no reason for your tequila journey to end with lime and a salt rim. From tropical fruits to smoky, spirit forward sips, tequila has a versatility that's poised to shake up your bar cart and a reputation for fun that makes it a guaranteed crowd pleaser no matter how you mix it. Not sure how to make the most of those silvers, golds, reposados, añejos, and extra añejos? These flavorful recipes (and, okay, a few margaritas too) are guaranteed to expand your agave horizons and take any party up a notch.
