Gift bouquets are trending right now. Making one in a margarita glass is a fun little twist. Here’s a simple guide to assembling your own margarita glass gift bouquet.
Margarita Gift Bouquet Supplies:
Here is everything you’ll need to recreate this exact gift but adjust it in any way to make it your own:
- A Margarita Glass: Choose a classic margarita glass for the ideal presentation. I picked this one up at Dollar Tree. It’s inexpensive and acrylic so it’s perfect for poolside margaritas this summer.
- Floral foam disk- this was also from Dollar Tree.
- Blue and green tissue paper
- Rubber band
- A Canned Margarita: The Tip Top canned margarita fits perfectly inside the Margarita glass. Alternatively you could add a mini tequila bottle and a mini margarita mix.
- Fresh Lime every canned margarita benefits from a fresh squeeze of lime.
- Salt- add margarita salt to a tiny bottle. This is another thing to pick up from the craft section at Dollar Tree.
- Mini Tajin: i love to add Tajin and salt to my margarita rim. I think this mini Tajin is so cute!
- Flowers: Select bright flowers that complement the colors of the margarita and limes. You won’t need many. You could use faux flowers if you’re making this gift bouquet ahead of time. Fresh will only work for last minute unless you use a floral disk that holds water. The Dollar Tree foam does not hold water. I just pulled a couple flowers off a tree in my yard – free!
- Toothpicks and/or bamboo skewers
- Hot Glue or adhesive of choice
- Cardstock or paper for the Salud Tag printable
Other Optional Add-ins
- Gift card to a Mexican restaurant
- Jalapeño – for the spicy margarita lover

- Tuck the extra tissue paper into the gap between the glass edge and the foam disk.
- Glue the canned margarita to the disk leaving room for the lime.
- Using a toothpick, attach the lime to the disk just to the right of the margarita can.
- Using hot glue, add toothpicks to the salt and mini Tajin
- Add the salt and Tajin to the gift bouquet
- Print the free printable tag using the highest quality print setting.
- Cut out the tag and attach it to a toothpick or wooden skewer using tape or hot glue. Add it to the bouquet.
- Add flowers. If you are using faux flowers simply press them into the floral disk. If you are using fresh flowers, use a toothpick or skewer to poke a hole into the foam large enough to press the flower stem into.
