### **The Art of Customization: Make It *Your* Margarita**

The real genius of the To-Go Margarita is the personalization it offers. While Chili’s staff can craft your drink, here’s how to elevate it at home:

1. **Tequila Choice**: Use **silver tequila** for a crisp finish or **gold** for a smoky, aged flavor.
2. **Sweetness Level**: Adjust agave nectar (or simple syrup) to your taste—sweeter for a balance to spicy dishes, drier for purists.
3. **Flavors**: Infuse your drink with fresh fruit purees (strawberry, mango, peach) or citrus zest for a zesty kick.
4. **Spice It Up**: Jalapeño slices, chili powder, or a dash of hot sauce add fire to the fruit.
5. **Garnish Galore**: Lime wheels, salted rims, orange slices, or herbs like cilantro for a fresh twist.

**Pro Tip**: For a *real* showstopper, serve in a chilled mason jar with floating fruit and a reusable straw for easy transport.

### **Why To-Go Margaritas are a Game Changer**

Let’s face it: Margaritas are a *social event*. By bringing them to you in a portable, no-fuss format, Chili’s is solving two problems:
– **Convenience**: No more rushing to mix drinks; just grab them pre-made.

### **Tips for the Ultimate Margarita Experience**

– **Chill Everything**: From the glass to the tequila, cold drinks are crisp and refreshing.
– **Use Fresh Ingredients**: Bottled lime juice? Not ideal. Freshly squeezed limes and fruits elevate the flavor (trust us).
– **Play With Pairing**: Margaritas are a blank canvas. Pair a spicy mango version with tacos, or a classic with ceviche.
– **Rim the Glass Right**: Combine coarse salt with flaky sea salt for a perfect rim. Add chili powder or Tajín for a zesty twist.
