Happy National Margarita Day! We have a fun ‘rita recipe for you to try on this joyous occasion. She’s nice and sweet with a sneaky bit of heat on the end.

Here’s what you need:

Cocktail:

2 oz tequila

1 oz Peach SweetShine

3/4 oz fresh lime juice

15 drops habanero bitters

pinch spice blend (recipe below, or substitute your own!)

lime wheel/wedge

Spice Blend:

2 tbsp. chili powder

1 tbsp. paprika

1/2 tbsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tbsp. white pepper

1/4 tbsp. kosher salt

First, use a slice of fresh lime to rim your glass.

Then twist the rim in the spice blend to coat.

Beautiful! Now for the cocktail …

In a mixing glass, combine:

2 oz tequila

1 oz Peach SweetShine

Don’t forget to shake it up!

3/4 oz fresh lime juice

15 drops habanero bitters (or to taste)

Pinch of spice blend (or to taste)

Add ice … a crucial ingredient for dilution of the tart lime juice!

Cover tightly, and shake vigorously until ice cold and frothy.

Strain over ice into your prepared glass, garnish with a lime wheel and an extra sprinkle of spice blend, if desired.

Sweet Heat Margarita with Peach SweetShine.

Cheers!
