20 Unique Vodka Margarita Recipes

15 Vodka Margarita Recipes

If you’re in the market for a traditional margarita that switches out the tequila for vodka, this margarita by Aubreys Kitchen is it. This recipe also includes Rose’s Lime, Triple Sec. and freshly squeezed lime juice. We also like how they take the time to offer suggestions for substitutions if you don’t have one of those ingredients on hand. Like how if you don’t have triple sec on hand, you can use fresh orange juice or another orange liqueur for margaritas. 

We love a good margarita, but sometimes we want something lighter without sacrificing all that great margarita flavor. This sparking margarita recipe is so light and delicious. For this vodka margarita recipe, you want to combine a good quality vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup (or simple syrup) in a cocktail shaker with some ice and give it a few shakes before your pour it into your favorite margarita glass. 

This margarita skips the typical salted rim and replaces it with a rim of Tajin. Garnish with a lime and serve. 

This sweet and refreshing cocktail doesn’t use vodka instead of tequila –it uses them both! This delicious recipe is infused with the summery flavors of cherry limeade. Tequila is combined with cherry-flavored vodka, fresh lime, black cherry-flavored sparking water, and frozen black cherries. 

Shake the liquid ingredients, except for the sparkling water, in a cocktail shaker, then shake and strain into a glass with a salted rim. If you’re not into salt, a sugar rim will go wonderfully with this cocktail too! 

Orange creamsicles were a childhood favorite, and now we’re happy to enjoy them in the adult form of this Creamsicle Margarita. This margarita recipe does feature tequila, but its powerful punch is mellowed by the sweet, creamy taste of whipped cream vodka. Orange juice, triple sec, and lime round out the rest of the ingredients. Serve in a glass with a salt rim, and enjoy. 

Do you like a little spice with your sweet? If so, we highly recommend these Jalapeno Margaritas by The Cake Chica. You make these in a large batch about a day ahead of time, using either vodka or tequila. The reason you need to make them early is that you infuse the cocktail with fresh jalapenos for about twenty-four hours to create a nice, spicy kick. These are great for sharing with friends on taco night! 

In the world of skinny margaritas, this recipe by Deep Eddy Vodka is as simple as it gets. You just need to muddle jalapenos in the bottom of a glass and fill it with ice. Next, add vodka and lime juice, then top with a splash of soda water. This one is garnished with a rim of Tajin and a nice thick lime slice.  

We’re on a bit of a spicy kick here with these margaritas, but we couldn’t resist adding this Chili Chile Margarita to the list. Chili Chile vodka is the star of the show in this drink, with the help of some lemon, lime, simple syrup, and Sriracha, to bring it all to life. A honey and chili salt rim, along with a lime wedge, add the finishing touches. 

In the world of margaritas, the classic cocktail always features some type of orange component. This usually comes from an orange liqueur, such as triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. This recipe works by adding in Grey Goose L’Orange instead of the orange liqueur. 

You’ll also want to grab some great tequila, agave, and fresh lime juice. Garnish with your choice of an orange or lime wedge before serving, and enjoy. 

We love this Pink Lemonade margarita recipe, especially if we’re enjoying it on a hot summer day. This recipe uses one of our favorite tips and tricks for making cocktail creation easier, and that’s taking advantage of premade, flavorful ingredients when you can. 

Store-bought pink lemonade makes this cocktail super simple and absolutely delicious. Of course, the pink lemonade vodka and tequila play a part in the tastiness of this drink too. Have some fresh strawberries on hand, along with a lemon or lime wedge to garnish the glass with before serving. 

This is a traditional margarita that’s enhanced by the fresh citrus flavor of juicy oranges. Vodka replaces tequila, but then there’s the beautiful combination of Cointreau, lime juice, and orange juice. This is a simple but very flavorful vodka margarita recipe, and for an elegant touch, we like how they suggest using edible flowers for a garnish. 

If you have friends over to share some good food and great drinks, this frozen blueberry lime cocktail is a fun variation of the classic margarita. Blueberry vodka compliments tequila, along with some lime juice, agave, and frozen blueberries. This margarita recipe doesn’t call for it, but we found that just a couple of drops of vanilla extract mellowed and blended the flavors of this frozen cocktail beautifully. 

There are drinks that taste like candy, and then there are drinks that are made from candy. This margarita with vodka uses real cotton candy, along with cake vodka, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Add the ingredients with some ice into a cocktail shaker and shake it well. The result will be a sweet, fun, and flavorful blue margarita that tastes like your favorite childhood treat. 

If you have some frozen pineapple hanging out in your freezer, we highly recommend using it to create this refreshing frozen vodka margarita recipe. A little sugar and lime juice make this drink even sweeter and more flavorful. This would be fun to make using flavored vodkas, such as pineapple or another tropical flavor. 

You don’t have to say it. We already know. Marshmallow and margarita are two flavors you would never think to mix together, but somehow, in these cocktails, it works. Whipped cream vodka blends with tequila to create that marshmallow flavor. Then, lime juice, triple sec, and a salt rim add the margarita flair. Skip the s’mores and serve this drink around the campfire instead. 

This is a fun variation of a traditional margarita recipe. Strawberry shortcake vodka sets the stage. It all starts with the strawberry shortcake flavored vodka, and then some frozen limeade concentrate is added to contribute the classic lime flavor of a good margarita. Triple sec is included, but you could use Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead. Add some grenadine to give this cocktail a beautiful pink color, say cheers, and enjoy!

This recipe requires a bit of prep time, but watermelon margaritas are perfect for summer, so we’re not going to complain! We switched out the tequila for the vodka but kept the rest the same, and it couldn’t be any easier.
