Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Limeade Margarita

Has it been a million years since you’ve dined out at your favorite Mexican restaurant or had an ice cold fancy margarita in your hand? It feels like an ETERNITY over here! But, I’ve found an amazingly easy margarita that takes zero mixology skills and still tastes like it is restaurant worthy. My Jalapeno Limeade Margarita is foolproof! I swear this is such a tasty easy cocktail that you may be shocked by how quickly that bottle of tequila disappears.

If you have zero mixology skills but love a fancy margarita, then try this cocktail using Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Limeade for the worlds easiest spicy margarita!

Mixers for Margaritas

Margaritas are so tricky because you really have to know your way around a bar to get one just perfect. If you’re like me and you don’t have mad bartending skills, then you’re at the mercy of mixers. And, they are always too sour, too sweet, or just meh.

That’s why I love this Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Limeade as a mixer for this margarita! It’s not a mixer. It’s a juice. It’s already delicious on it’s own! All you have to do is pour.

Easiest margarita on the planet!

Easy Spicy Margarita

Let’s chat about this limeade. Trader Joe’s has a delicious organic Jalapeño Limeade that doubles as the world’s best mixer. If you feel inadequate in the bartending department, then this is a sure way to boost your confidence!

You may be wondering: How spicy is this cocktail? Not very. That’s what makes it such a crowd pleaser! It has just a little kick to it–not a punch in the gut. After all, this limeade is a juice first.

In fact, I like to add a little Mexican Season Salt (see recipe) to the rim of my glass to give it an extra little kick. Plus, I throw in a few jalapeno slices for fun. Still, yall, I’m telling you this is NOT a overly spicy cocktail.

As the recipe developer, it was my duty to rigorously test this concoction to ensure it’s worthiness. Trust me, you can drink several of these bad boys.
