So, without further adeiu, here are the how-to’s of a DIY Margarita Gift Basket

DIY Margarita Gift Basket: How-To

Step One: Gather your items. For this DIY Margarita gift basket you need: a basket, Margarita Mix, preferred brand of Tequila, Limes, and any other add-ins you’d like. If this is for an office party, throw in some chips and salsa. If this is a hostess gift, a fun margarita glass set or pitcher is a great add in. Is the basket for a bridal shower? Including a blender makes it a fun, useful and customizeable gift.

Step Two: Customize your DIY Margarita gift basket and adhere labels. Try this Margarita Mix label to add a citrus punch to an otherwise bland bottle, and this label for your tequila. In other words, don’t forget to personalize it! Don’t forget to include a label for your rimming salt, found here.

Step Three: Next, assemble your Margarita gift basket. Make sure you have plenty of tissue paper and filler on hand to ensure your basket looks full and plentiful.

Step Four: Pour a drink and then, enjoy responsibly!
