Reviews
Awesome margarita! It only had a hint of spice that was not overpowering to drink. The only drawback is the prep ahead. I’d recommend making more than you need because you will want more.
I made a huge pitcher of these margaritas for a party. FABULOSO !!!!
I had everything measured and squeezed one day ahead of time. These spicy concoctions are the current rave on South Beach.
