Best Tequila For DIY Tequila Gift Baskets
To begin, you need to visit your local store and buy a nice, large bottle of tequila. You can also order these online.
We usually choose the prettiest bottle for our DIT tequila gift basket…
But if you want to go the extra mile then choose a brand of tequila that comes highly recommended!
Esquire recommends brands such as Patrón, Casa Noble, and El Tesoro amongst their list of top 10 tequila brands.
Best Shot Glasses For Your DIY Tequila Gift Basket
There’s a wonderful variety of shot glasses available to suit the taste of your gift basket recipient.
Here are some of our favorites…
1. Handmade Marble Tequila Shot Glasses
2. Floral Calavera Shot Glasses
3. Himalayan Pink Salt Shot Glasses
4. Mason Jar Shot Glasses
Salt For DIY Tequila Gift Baskets
You can buy salt at your local grocery store but when adding salt to a DIY tequila gift basket, the fancier the better, right?!
Decant salt into cute little jars you already own or give one of our options below a try…
1. Artisanal Tequila Salt Gift Set
2. Wooden Salt Pot
3. Black Marble Base Salt Pot With Wooden Lid
Limes
You can order limes online from Amazon but you’re most likely to find the best price at your local grocery store.
The great thing about limes is they don’t ripen too fast but to be on the safe side, be sure to buy them just before you intend to gift your tequila basket!

3. Sangrita Recipe Card
Sangrita is a drinking condiment or Salsa that originated as an accompaniment to Mexican cocktails, such as tequila. It typically contains tomato juice, orange juice, lime or lemon juice, and various hot sauces.
We’ve created a stunning sangrita recipe card that you can print off and include inside your tequila gift basket.
To download your recipe card, simply click here, save and then print on your paper or cardstock of choice.
4. Basket Fillers
Have a look on Amazon for basket fillers of your choice.
Our fave is shredded paper because it provides a nice soft base for the glass bottles, comes in a variety of colors, and looks beautifully rustic too!
5. Embellishments
One of our favorite things about putting together a DIY tequila basket is how much fun you can have getting creative.
Each basket can be made to suit the recipient and therefore each basket is entirely unique!
You can make your basket even more exciting and unique by adding some extra embellishments and garnishes!
Here are a few ideas to get you started…
