How To Make A Margarita Gift Basket
Step 1
First, wrap the blue and green ribbon around the rim of the basket (it’s easiest to do this while the basket is empty).
Next, place the folded fiesta tablecloth at the bottom of the basket.
Then, frame the margarita printable and add it to the back of the basket with the recipe book.
Step 2
Next, align the tequila, marg mix, and simple syrup along the back of the basket.
Step 3
Add the margarita glasses and mini cactus.
Side note: can we talk about how cute these mini cactus are? I found mine from Trader Joe’s one day and have found so many great uses for them such as Mexican-Inspired Date Night and my Margarita Bar Cart.
Step 4
Add the lemons, limes, avocados, and jiggler.
This is a great way to fill any empty space in your basket!
