These Aloe Vera Margaritas are a refreshing switch from your standard margarita! Complete with some awesome healing properties!
Don’t you love how I can make a margarita healthy? Continuing the theme of healing margaritas like my cold fighter Rosemary Ginger Margarita I thought I’d bring you a drink that’s the perfect digestive elixir.
Along with boosting your immune system Aloe Vera is an awesome at calming an upset stomach and aiding in the digestion of food. Tequila does the same. Sometimes if I’m feeling particularly bloated after a meal I’ll drink about an ounce of tequila and I notice a difference immediately. Adding aloe to the mix just ups the powerful calming effects as it contains numerous amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals that soothe and protect your digestive tract.
Plus this margarita is just the bomb. Slightly sweet, slightly tangy, and slightly smoky is the perfect after dinner cocktail.
I love an interesting cocktail and this one will sure get the conversation going at your next dinner party. Also, if you’re wanting the presentation to be extra special simply purchase a medicinal grade aloe plant and snip off a small leaf for garnish. Be sure to squeeze most of the gel out of it before using or you’ll end up with a swirl of gel in your margarita.
Have you ever had an unusual margarita? Leave em’ in the comments below! I’m always looking for more ways to utilize tequila!

5 stars but…. Was interested to try as a new fan of aloe, great recipe tho a little strong for me so I tweaked it with double the aloe. Might try with slightly less lime next time too. But, thats the joy of making your own, easy to adapt to taste

The only thing better than a good, cool drink is when you can say it’s good for you, too 🙂 I’m thinking I’ll need to start drinking these. Daily.

This sounds perfect with a filling Mexican meal. I love Margaritas! Where can I purchase Aloe Vera Juice?
Lauren
Hi Ali! It’s usually in with the juice section at grocery stores or in the medicine section if you’re at Walmart or another non speciality store.
