An easy Spicy Mango Margarita that’s perfect for any season!
Made with these 4 simple ingredients; tequila, mango nectar, lime, and jalapenos. Serve this mango margarita over the rocks with a Tajin coated rim that seals the deal!
This sweet and spicy margarita is an absolute must-try for a drink for two, or a large crowd.
Like most of the recipes on my blog, it’s another original recipe that we whipped up because of our darn cravings! I’ve been on the hunt for a Mango Margarita on the rocks, so much so, that I went out of my way to try a spicy pineapple marg that was slightly disappointing.
So, that night after the kids went to bed, my husband whipped up this drink for me and after making it a couple different ways, I was hooked on this version. It’s the spicy margarita recipe of my dreams, and hope it’s for you as well.
If you enjoy a slightly spicy, but not over the top drink, then this is definitely your drink. If you prefer it to be extremely spicy, then dare add another slice of jalapeno to the mix!
