How to make a Margarita Punch
Ingredients (Serves 12)
- Ice cubes, to serve
- 250mL El Sueño Watermelon Liqueur
- 250mL Espolon Tequila Reposado
- 120mL Cointreau liqueur
- 750mL btl Grant Burge Pinot Noir Chardonnay NV
- 750mL lime-flavoured sparkling water
- 125mL lime juice
- Lime slices, to serve
- Lime wedge, to serve
- Salt, to serve
Method
- Fill a serving jug or punch bowl with ice. Add the watermelon liqueur, tequila and Cointreau and stir to combine.
- Pour in the sparkling wine, sparkling water and lime juice and stir to combine. Add some lime slices.

Prep ahead with a big-batch margarita punch
Sure you could take any tequila and margarita-flavoured mixers and make a punch, but we’re talking about taking the flavours to the next level, and that calls for a tequila less ordinary. Enter El Sueño Watermelon Liqueur. Its base spirit is El Sueño Silver, a premium 100% blue agave tequila with a reputation for making great margaritas, but it’s the natural summer fruit flavours of watermelon and citrus that make it a standout for the party season. To dial up the tequila flavour even more, we’ve used Espolon Tequila Reposado. Aged for 2 years in oak barrels, it’s a medal-winning Mexican craft tequila.
Bringing the fizz to any punch you make is a breeze with Grant Burge Pinot Noir Chardonnay. Bottle-fermented by the Champagne method, it’s an easy-drinking and great-value Aussie sparkling wine.
