This afternoon in quarantine, my sister and I decided to have some fun and experiment with a few cocktails for dinner. As we were looking through the cabinet, my sister pulled out a bottle of Hennessy and said “We should make Hennessy margaritas!” I looked at my sister and asked “cognac and tequila in one drink?!”. She exclaimed “YES!” So not only did we have fun creating a Hennessy Margarita recipe (also known as a Henny Rita!), we decided to film ourselves making this easy margarita recipe as well. This recipe also happens to be one of the most requested drinks at my sister’s job.
Hennessy Margarita Cocktail Rim Options
For cocktail rim, we used Tajin as shown in the photo below. If you’ve never used tajin before, you should give it a try! Tajin has a salty, citrus, and subtle spice taste. It pairs perfectly with sweet flavored drinks. If you do not have any tajin on hand, you can order some using my link below. You could also use salt or sugar to rim your glass as well.
Give Tajin a Try With This Recipe!
If you’ve never tried Tajin with your margaritas before, then you’re missing out! Order some online today on Amazon!

This is a very informative article with complete detail. Thank you, I will share it with my friends.
I know I’m a little late to the party, but I found your site by way of a Hennessey commercial showcasing a Hennessey Margarita.
I just mixed up all of the ingredients, and I’m fortunate my Takis-loving teenager had Tajín on-hand…
I only have one word to describe this drink: phenomenal!
Bravo!
My god you put Tequila in it? Sounds like a recipe for a horrible hangover. Good luck with that lol
