Habanero Peach Margarita Is A Sweet, Spicy Twist On The Classic Drink

While some people enjoy the summertime because it means beach trips and soaking up some sun, I like the season for one reason: frozen margaritas!

Sure, you can have a margarita year-round, but there is something special about the ice-cold treat when you’re spending time outside in the warm sunshine. While I am A-OK with a simple lime margarita, I am always on a mission for new recipes, especially if they have ingredients you don’t normally find mixed with tequila.

That’s why this habanero peach margarita recipe from Torani is definitely getting added to my must-try list. Along with tequila and lime juice, you’ll also need Grand Marnier, Torani Puremade Peach Syrup and yes, a habanero pepper! If you want to give this drink even more kick, you can also substitute a traditional salted rim for a chili-salted rim.

Rim chilled glass with lime wedge and dip into chili salt. Muddle a slice of habanero in glass and add ice. Add all other ingredients and stir well. Garnish with lime wheel.

If you can’t find Torani’s peach syrup near you, you can always try making your own. This recipe from Simply Happy Foodie calls for just three ingredients: peaches, sugar and water.

All you’ll do is mix the ingredients together into a pan and cook them on a simmer. You can then keep the syrup in your fridge for up to two weeks so you can make the margarita or any other peach-flavored drinks multiple times.

Not a fan of peach, but want to add some spice to your next cocktail? How about a spicy pink lemonade? Made with Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey and pink lemonade, it looks like the perfect summer treat!

If you want something even easier that you don’t have to make yourself, Frank’s Red Hot now makes a canned bloody Mary. The pre-mixed cocktails are flavored with Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. The ABV is 5.5% for a 12-ounce can, so there’s no need to add more liquor, but you can jazz them up by pouring them in a glass and adding celery, olives, pickles, peppers or bacon.
