This Egg Foam Margarita has been on repeat all summer long. Everything you love about classic margaritas but with a little protein added for balance.
I love love egg whites in drinks! They add a silky, textural aspect without influencing the taste of the drink. I promise – you can’t taste the egg white at all.
Egg whites are a good source of protein without the fat or calories. Alcohol depletes your body of minerals but egg whites have potassium, magnesium, selenium and more. So you’re giving your body some minerals while you’re depleting your body of them. Balance. Or at least this is what I tell myself while drinking 1 or 2 of these.
How Margarita is Made
You probably already have all the ingredients to make these Egg Foam Margaritas.
You’ll need:
- Orange Juice
- Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
- Maple Syrup
- Tequila Blanco
- Egg Whites (not boxed egged whites, they won’t foam properly)
- Jalapeno’s (optional)
- Mason Jar
I’m a big fan of making cocktails at home, so I keep my equipment to a minimum. All you need to create this drink is a mason jar. No fancy shakers, strainers, none of that. I know there’s an art to cocktail making but I’m a home cook, not a mixologist. I’ll leave the fancy equipment to the pros.
This is a great drink for hosting, because it can be prepared a head of time. Just don’t add the egg white until you’re ready to serve the drink.
Tequila Margarita
I used Tequila Exotico Blanco and salted the rim with Tajin. You can also just use chili powder and salt or chili powder and sugar, if you don’t have Tajin. The jalapeno is optional but it turns the margarita spicy, which I loooove.

This is a fantastic recipe for summer, love how easy it is and the foam is great!
Thanks Caitlin!
I have never heard of a margarita like this but love the unique flavor and foam! And the rim flavor is awesome!
I have a confession to make – I’ve never made margarita at home. I guess the time has come to change that once and for all 🙂
you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is!
Wow I have never tried foaming margs with egg whites! I love the foamy effect, so trying it out!!
This is genius! Love the idea of adding the egg foam!
