- Don't like tequila? If you're not a fan of tequila, you can also make this cocktail with vodka or gin. Try a Vodka Margarita or a Gin Margarita.
- You can use different options for rimming the glass. To add a little extra kick to your black margarita, try rimming the glass with chili salt or use black salt.
