Spicy Margarita

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Here is my version of a spicy margarita, I can’t get enough of this lately! So good with just a little kick to it!

Spicy Margarita

Course: Drinks
Cuisine: Mexican
Keyword: cocktail, margarita, tequila
Servings: 1 drink

Ingredients

  • 1 shot orange liqueur
  • 1 1/2 shot tequila
  • 1/2 shot simple syrup – equal parts sugar to water boiled for a minute or two on the stove. I did 1/4 cup of each to be able to make a few drinks. Store extra in a little container in the fridge. (FYI this dressing container is perfect!)
  • 3rd lime juice + rind
  • Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Seasoning about 4 shakes into the mix and more if you want rim your glass –> skip this if you want a classic margarita and use salt instead!
  • Ice, to figure out how much you need fill your glass with ice then dump that in the shaker

Instructions

  • Rim your glass with TJ Chili Lime Seasoning – shake seasoning out onto a plate, wet rim of glass, turn glass upside down into the seasoning, swirl around until rim is covered
  • Put all ingredients in a shaker, shake and pour! If you don’t have a shaker you can just stir all together or use anything with a lid (mason jar, smoothie bottle)

Here are some of my picks for shakers and margarita glasses! and I have these fun cactus ones!
