Add Some Heat: The Best Spicy Margarita with Don Levi Blanco Tequila

What is a Spicy Margarita?

This is a twist on the Classic Margarita for someone who loves a little kick in their cocktail. This bold and flavourful twist on the classic margarita brings the heat with a touch of Tabasco and a sprinkle of chilli flakes, complemented by the smooth, crisp notes of Don Levi Blanco Tequila. It's perfect for those who enjoy their drinks with a fiery twist, on a summery day, social gathering on National Margarita Day (Febraury 22nd)

Ingredients:
50ml Don Levi Blanco Tequila: Our 100% agave Blanco is smooth and crisp, the best tequila base for any margarita (but of course we would say that).  

25ml Orange Juice:  Adds a natural sweetness and tangyness that helps balances the heat (a little).

20ml Orange Liqueur: A touch of citrus sweetness to enhance the overall flavour profile.  

15ml Fresh Lime Juice: Zesty and tart, fresh lime juice is a must for any margarita. 

4 Dashes of Tabasco : A fiery kick that makes this margarita not for the feint of heart.

Chilli Flake Rim: Spice up your glass with a chili-flake rim for an added heat sensation. 

Chilli Garnish: A chili for garnish that adds an extra visual pop and heat.

How to Spice up your Margarita:

1. Prepare the Glass 
Begin by rimming your glass with chilli flakes by rubbing a lime wedge around the edge of your glass, then dip it into a plate of chilli flakes. 

2. Combine the Ingredients 
In a cocktail shaker, add Don Levi Blanco Tequila, orange juice, orange liqueur, and lime juice. Don't forget the ice.

3. Add the Heat 
Add 4 dashes of Tabasco to the shaker. You can add more or less, depending on how spicy you want it!

4. Shake and Strain 
Shake for about 10 to 15 seconds until the shaker is cold and is a little frosty. Strain into your glass filled with ice.

5. Garnish with a Chilli 
Garnish your Spicy Margarita with a chili for that extra fiery touch. 

6. Enjoy! (Responsibly)
