Spicy Peach Margarita
August 26, 2024
A wonderful peachy twist on the classic margarita, this cocktail is neither too sweet nor too sour. In fact, it offers up a nice floral sweetness with just the right amount of heat from the chili on the rim—a warmth that is as welcoming as the summer sun. And with its beachy sunset exterior, it’s definitely as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate. It pairs perfectly well with a pair of flip flops and a low-key, I’m-on-vacation-in-my-mind kind of vibe.
