Make this DIY margarita in a jar gift for your tequila-loving friends on any occasion!

This margarita in a jar is a simple and fun gift to make and to give. It’s doable even for the “less than crafty” gift giver and yields one or two (smaller) classic margaritas. You can even experiment with your own flavors and make this margarita in a jar uniquely from you. Before you assemble your margarita in a jar, you’ll want the following supplies on hand.

Margarita In A Jar Supplies

1 large jar (Mason type)

Scissors

Clear Tape

Twine, ribbon or yarn of your choice

Decorative stickers or labels

Paper Straws

Colorful Napkins

Margarita Salt (we choose to put our salt in a serving-size, decorated envelope)

Limes

Single-serving bottle of your favorite clear tequila

Single-serving bottle of Cointreau

Small-serving bottle of sparkling or soda water (for a fizzier margarita)

Assembling Your Margarita In A Jar

Here’s the best part. It’s so easy!

Decorate your jar however you like! We added a few margarita-themed stickers from a craft store.

Gather your margarita ingredients.

If you will include margarita salt in your jar, you can shake a little into a serving size container or envelope like we did here. That way all your ingredients fit into your jar.

Place all of your ingredients into the jar. If you need to, use a little clear tape to keep the bottles and other ingredients from shaking around.

Close the jar and wrap the top with twine, ribbon or yarn. If you want to kick it up a notch, toss in a card with a hilarious tequila quote written inside.

Tie the ends together and you are ready to gift your Margarita In A Jar!
