Frequently asked questions
What sets the Spicy Margarita apart from the classic one?
The Spicy Margarita is spiced up with fresh chili or jalapeno, which adds a fiery heat to the classic sweet and sour flavor profile.
Which tequila is best?
A high-quality Tequila Blanco made from one hundred percent agave brings the fresh agave note that harmonizes wonderfully with the heat.
How do I make the heat milder?
Remove the seeds of the jalapeno before mixing and reduce the number of slices, since much of the heat sits in the seeds and membranes.
