Midnight Margaritas: 3 Spirits Your Witchy Cocktail Is Missing

Spooky season is just around the corner, and what better way to kick it off than with the long-awaited sequel to Practical Magic? 

If the nostalgia of Practical Magic has you thinking about brews, potions and midnight magic, give your classic margarita a darker twist. These three spirits can transform the familiar cocktail into a trio of midnight margaritas — each with its own personality.

🧂🍋‍🟩✨ Espolòn Extra Añejo

For a deeper, darker twist, try Espolòn Extra Añejo. Made with 100% Blue Weber agave, it’s aged for two and a half years in American oak and another six months in French Chardonnay casks. The result is a rich tequila that’s meant to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it can also bring a more sophisticated edge to a midnight margarita.

The vibe: Rich, layered and complex.

🔥🍋‍🟩🌙 Montelobos Espadín

Want to make things smoky? Montelobos Espadín is a Mezcal Joven with citrusy, salty and peppery notes, along with earthy agave and hints of spices like nutmeg and clove. Its subtle smoke makes it an easy way to give your margarita an earthy, witchy twist.

The vibe: Herbaceous, earthy and subtly smoky.

🌶️🍋‍🟩☀️ Ancho Reyes Verde

For a little heat, reach for Ancho Reyes Verde. The chile liqueur is spicy and herbaceous, with a fresh, vibrant character that pairs particularly well with tequila. Add it to a margarita for a cocktail with a little more spice and personality.

The vibe: Fresh, bright and spicy.
