This spin on the margarita has been around for a few decades, so maybe you’ve had it before. It was first shaken up in 1990 San Francisco by Julio Bermejo at his familys restaurant called Tommy’s. We love a drink with a little history. But have you ever made your own? Today’s the day. View Recipe

One way to upgrade a tequila sunrise is to make it icy. It takes less prep than you think: Simply freeze orange juice into ice cubes trays in the morning, and by sunset, you’ll have icy OJ. Blend up your juice cubes, pour the smooth slush over tequila, add some grenadine, splash in some more orange juice, and voila. View Recipe
