Best Margarita Glasses
Whether you’re looking for cheap, plastic options that can take a beating at your next outdoor pool party, or you’re looking for something a little more elegant and refined to break out at your next sit-down dinner party, these cute options are sure to inspire!
Budget-Friendly Margarita Glassware Set
If you’re looking for something that looks elegant, but won’t break the bank, this set from Target is a great find! It’s got a gorgeous wisp of blue running through each stemless glass, which brings a certain flair that’s missing from most other cheap margarita glasses you might find.
My favorite part about this set, though? The affordable matching pitcher!
Party-Friendly, Plastic Margarita Glassware
If you’re planning to host an epic backyard party with free-flowing frozen margaritas, or frequently have your friends over for Taco Tuesday dinners, I recommend stocking up on these colorful plastic “glasses.” Not having to worry about the potential of broken glass, or parting ways with a more expensive margarita glassware option, will give you a little peace of mind and help you enjoy your own party.
Elevated Cactus Margarita Glasses
If you don’t have a budget, or are perfectly fine blowing your budget out of the water if the item is cute enough, there’s also this flowering cactus option from Neiman Marcus. They’re a bit of a splurge, but for something this fun and unique, I’d say they’re absolutely worth it!
Gigantic Marg Glass
For an extra-large helping of a prickly-pear margarita, these are the glasses you’ll want to add to your Amazon wish-list. This giant margarita goblet holds a whopping 33 oz. It might be a little difficult to salt a rim that large, but it’s definitely worth the challenge.
Flamingo Margarita Glasses
Rounding out my recommendations of fun and unique marg glasses are these adorable pink flamingos! These light-weight, yet absolutely adorable glasses are sturdy enough to stand up to even the heaviest of pours! But don’t just take my word for it; this Etsy seller gets tons of rave reviews!
Frequently Asked Questions About Margarita Glasses
Why are margarita glasses shaped as they are?
No one really knows for sure how the marg glass got its shape, but some lore suggests that a restaurant in Los Angeles received a shipment of odd champagne glasses and decided to repurpose them as margarita glasses. Others suggest the glass got its shape because it was made to resemble an upside down sombrero.
The wide rim of the glass does help you to get a bit of salt (or sugar) into each sip, though!
What is a good substitute for margarita glasses?
In a pinch, I recommend using a martini or a coupe glass as a substitution!
Why do you put salt around a margarita glass?
The salty rim of a margarita is usually a good, savory contrast to the sweetness of the often fruit-forward cocktail.
