Dr. Pepper Margarita

A Bold Twist on a Classic Favorite

Smooth tequila meets zesty lime and that signature sweet, fizzy kick of Dr. Pepper. It’s refreshing, slightly sweet, a little tangy, and completely unexpected in the best way possible.

Perfect for backyard hangouts, lake days, game nights, or just because it’s Tuesday.

  • 2 oz tequila (silver/blanco preferred)
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice

  • 2 oz Dr Pepper or Diet Dr Pepper
  • Coarse salt (for rim)
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lime wedge for garnish

  2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  3. Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup.

  5. Strain into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
