There’s something special about a cocktail that sets the tone for the entire evening. These Spicy Lemon Margaritas are bright, fiery, and balanced, with a sweet-spicy rim that makes each sip unforgettable. I originally created this cocktail as part of my Elevated Taco Tuesday spread, but it quickly became a favorite in its own right.
Cuisine / Inspiration: Mexican-inspired with a spicy, citrus-forward twist
Serves: 2
Time: 5 minutes
This margarita is equal parts refreshing and bold. The tart lemon, balanced sweetness, and subtle smokiness from the rim create a layered flavor experience that lingers on the palate. It pairs beautifully with tacos, charcuterie, and any gathering that calls for something a little special.
