What Tequila is The Best for Spicy Margarita?
I recommend Reposado tequila for flavor margaritas, it is kept resting in barrels and gets a more complex flavor like vanilla, oak and a thicker note that will give your cocktail that kick, you could use a silver tequila in this recipe and still produce a tasty cocktail.
Variation of Spicy Margarita
Mezcal – will be the perfect spirit substitution if you like the smoky flavor!
Habanero Pepper – This chili has a spiciness that does not hurt your stomach, it has a pleasant taste!
Tropical Juice – Add a different variation of tropical juice like mango, pineapple, passion fruit, kiwi, grapefruit, and orange, all of them go very well with the spicy touch!
