I have good news for you. If you have a jar of fruity jam stashed somewhere in the fridge or pantry, a bottle of silver tequila, and some citrus laying around, this DELIGHTFUL margarita can be yours within minutes.
Rather than using plain simple syrup in this jar-garita, I use a tablespoon of fruity jam. It gets me the sugar content I need to balance out the lime or lemon juice, plus it adds fruity flavor!
I used raspberry here, but absolutely any jam works.
HAPPY COCKTAILING!

Notes
- No kidding – ANY JAM WORKS! Some favorites to pair with tequila: raspberry, strawberry, apricot, blackberry. Trader Joe’s has a new watermelon jam out for summer that I can’t wait to try with this!
- This is DELICIOUS as a non-alcoholic beverage. Just leave out the tequila and you have a bubbly, fruity mocktail!
