Your Results

Mostly A: Classic
Nothing boring about a classic margarita. And you need yours perfect. Salt, rocks, just the right amount of citrus.

Mostly B: Spicy
You gotta love a spicy margarita. The salt is good, but you need the ice and the heat. Jalapeños? Fine. But how about something hotter?

Mostly C: Fruity
Many times, it seems like margaritas were meant for a little fruity sweetness. Light fruit flavors can help bring out nuances in your tequila and even let you make it a little more boozy.

Mostly D: Smoky
Honestly, how could anyone get enough of a smoky margarita? You get the sweet, maybe even a little spice, but tequila and smoke go together. Preferably, that combination occurs in your glass.

Mostly E: Wildcard
There’s no telling which way you’ll go. Sometimes you need it sweet, sometimes smoky. But always, you need it in your glass.
