Why You’ll Love This Skinny Spicy Margarita Recipe
A Tried-and-True Fave. Margaritas offer a taste of fun warm sunshine, and of course, no worries. This simple and spicy margarita recipe is based on my original Skinny Margarita recipe. It’s become a favorite drink for a lot of people and has led to a variety of delicious spinoffs for thirst quenching, ranging including Peach Margaritas, to Blackberry Margaritas as well as Grapefruit Margaritas.
Easy to Make. Making a margarita more spicy is as easy as adding 1 or two thin slices of jalapeno to shaker along with other ingredients. (While you can create an extremely spicy margarita by infusing tequila and jalapeno slices this requires patience and preparation, which neither is something I normally do when I am in the mood for a margarita.)
Absolutely Delicious. This recipe for jalapeno margaritas has the zing and bite of an energizing hit of citrus, a subtle sweetness of spirits, and all with a the slight hint of fire. Once you’ve begun drinking the margarita, it’s difficult to put it down!
Spicy Margarita Mix Ingredients
A perfect margarita recipe is only part of the equation. Even the best recipe won’t take you all the way. The real difference lies in the quality of your ingredients. Fresh lime juice is key. Don’t use pre-squeezed juice. This margarita recipe? It’s spicy. Keep that in mind.
Tequila. It is recommended to use a good Tequila, in all honesty. However, the accurate part for you, in terms of cost, is that you do not need the costly tequilas with a long history (reposado as well as anejo). To make a margarita Blanco tequila will be the way to go! Choose pure agave-based tequila and if you are unsure you can ask a friend for advice. Familiar brands like Espolon or Hornitos are always a good bet.
Triple Sec. Triple sec is excellent, think Combier or Cointreau–or it can be unpleasant. It’s just important to not buy the lowest priced bottle Here, however, you don’t need to blow your budget.
Bitters. Not any other bitters however, but the OG the original, the traditional bitters, the one and only Angostura bitters. Don’t use those bizarre bitters your mother-in-law gifted to you on your birthday this year. It’s got to be Angostura that’s all there is to it.
Tajin. Okay, this is our personal favorite trick. It’s not a requirement, but however it is for sure for making your hot margarita the most spicy margarita your pals have ever had. What is Tajin? It’s a wonderful Mexican seasoning mix that contains salt, chile powder and dehydrated lime, which is tangy, spicy and salty. This, in other words, perfectly complements and enhances this spiced margarita! You could add the salty rim (or none altogether) But what’s the point?

Pour the hot margarita into fresh Ice in your glass with a Tajin-rimmed. Drink it up!
A Quick Note About “Skinny” Margaritas
Therefore, a homemade, freshly-made margarita is naturally “skinny”–as in, it’s not extremely rich in calories or anything else. We’re not certain what made margaritas classified as super calorific or extremely high in sugar However, when they’re created properly – that is making them with homemade ingredients, not a pre-made mix–they’re actually not skinny in any way. We’re going to put aside together the term “skinny” as of now, because we’re in 2022 and we’re likely to be able to move beyond the idea that a drink that is a joy to drink has to be “skinny”.
What if instead we say “oooo I love freshly made margaritas!” and relax and enjoy our drink. Health, balance and enjoyment! And even moderation in moderation. That’s why you can possibly call the recipe “skinny” should you choose to, as it’s an excellent, classic margarita with no added ingredients should not be in the first place in the first place, such as high-fructose syrups, or any else you’ve come across in a mix from a supermarket. Make a huge batch of margs, and invite your best friends to join you for a celebration! We’ll never discuss skinny drinks again, okay? YAY. Cheers!
