Reposado can add depth if you prefer a smoother, aged tequila, but steer clear of anejo because it&#8217;s too rich of an agave spirit for this lively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/drinks-with-tequila\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/drinks-with-tequila\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tequila drink<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triple sec or Cointreau:<\/strong> While both are orange liqueurs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cointreau-vs-triple-sec-vs-grand-marnier\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cointreau-vs-triple-sec-vs-grand-marnier\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cointreau<\/a> is smoother and more refined with a higher alcohol content, but triple sec gets the job done at a lower price point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh lime juice:<\/strong> Bottled lime juice just doesn&#8217;t cut it here.

Combine the tequila, rhubarb syrup, lime juice and orange liqueur in a large pitcher or sealable container, then stir and refrigerate. This mix can chill for a few hours, but hold off on the ice until just before serving. Either shake each drink with ice or pour it over fresh cubes to keep things cold and undiluted.<\/p>\n<h2>Rhubarb Margarita Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2152827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Rhubarb-Margarita_TOHD25_280110_SarahTramonte_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"A glass of ice-filled pink cocktail with a salted rim and a lime wedge garnish sits on a light marble surface.
