What Kind Of Tequila Do I Need?

We like using tequila blanco, but really any tequila that you like drinking will work just fine. If you’d like to do some research on what types of tequila might be right for you, check out or Tequila Guide for Beginners!

Can I Leave The Tequila Out?

Yes, as we have mentioned above, you can omit the tequila entirely. These margarita bars will still give the flavor of a delicious creamy lime dessert, just without the booze. However, if you like boozy desserts but you just don’t love tequila, you can swap out rum instead.
