Your Margarita Day Line-Up: 4 Simple Margaritas to Make at Home with Código 1530 Tequila

On February 22nd, it’s time to celebrate International Margarita Day the fun way! Grab your shaker, your favourite friends and Código 1530 Tequila to mix up three irresistible recipes. Go classic with a Blanco Margarita, bursting with fresh lime and natural sweetness. Go luxe with a Cadillac Margarita, where Reposado’s smoky oak notes meet zesty orange liqueur. Or keep it light and playful with a Blasberry Margarita made with Rosa Tequila and a hint of honey syrup.

We invited DJ and Mixologist Mmiso Luphondo to create a Margarita for us. As a curator and creative, he crafts moods through sound and cocktails, turning everyday moments into memorable experiences. Mmiso’s Rosa Margarita is a refined twist on the classic, blending Codigó Rosa tequila with fresh lime and delicate elderflower for a light, aromatic serve that’s perfect from golden hour into the evening.

All our recipes have few ingredients and maximum flavour – perfect for sipping slowly, toasting boldly and making Margarita Day a little more mischievous. Try a new recipe, get creative with garnishes and let the cocktails flow!
