Summer calls for margaritas! There’s nothing I love more than a cold, tangy margarita on a hot summer evening. And if you are adventurous in your cocktails, a spicy margarita can CHANGE YOUR WORLD. By incorporating that little bit of heat, it adds so much to the sweetness of a margarita.
If you’re not looking for a mocking like the one here, below is my recipe for a spicy margarita. Of note: I can usually only find the Trader Joe’s spicy mango lemonade in the summer months so I STOCK UP on it when I see it and keep it in my extras fridge (it keeps pretty well for several weeks if it is sealed). There are also several spicy margarita mixers that are available year round that I will link below. You could substitute the mango lemonade with the spicy mixer and add your own mango juice or any other fruit juice to mix it up.
