Yes, you can substitute Blanco for Reposado (or vice versa) in most cocktail recipes, though it will alter the flavor profile. Blanco (unaged) provides a crisp, bright, and agave-forward taste ideal for refreshing, citrusy drinks like classic margaritas. Reposado (aged) offers softer, woody, or vanilla notes that add depth and a smoother, less sharp finish to cocktails.

A standard margarita is a strong cocktail, typically containing 20% to 30% ABV (40–60 proof). A classic recipe using 2 oz of 80-proof tequila and 1 oz of orange liqueur often results in a drink that is about 27% ABV, with most of its alcohol coming from the tequila.

Agave nectar is widely considered the best sweetener for a margarita because its earthy, natural flavor complements the agave-based tequila, offering a perfect balance to lime juice. It mixes well and is often preferred over simple syrup. Other excellent options include homemade simple syrup or honey.
