Tips and tricks

Margaritas are easy to make, but a few extra helpful hints can’t hurt:

You can omit the soda water and simply add more passion fruit juice/syrup, however it will be much stronger in tartness and sweetness.
For a sweeter drink, use more agave nectar. For a more tart taste, either use less, or leave it out completely.
Tequila is what makes this a margarita, but feel free to experiment with other liquors. Vodka or a light rum would taste good with these flavors.
Make a big batch ahead of time! Simply mix everything but the soda water and ice. When ready to serve, pour over ice and mix in the soda water.
Add more flavor by rimming your glass. Rub some lime juice along the rim of the cup, then dip it in a mixture of salt and Tajín.
If you like spicy, add some jalapeños to your margarita.
Make a blended passion fruit margarita by mixing up all the ingredients minus the soda water in a blender with one cup of ice.
