Thats where this 3-ingredient spicy margarita comes in.
I can grab all three ingredients at my local Trader Joes and boom, instant cocktail hour.
I also tweaked the proportions to achieve a margarita that pleased me and all of my neighbors.

The main ingredient is Trader JoesOrganic Jalapeno Limeade.
Youll find it next to the other shelf-stable juices and drinks.
Next, youll need tequila.
Finally, stop by the spice section and grab a bottle of theirChile Lime Seasoning Blend.
Its similar to Tajin but a bit less chunky, making it ideal for rimming a cocktail glass.
If youd like bonus points, grab a lime or two and maybe a fresh jalapeno for garnish.
Not required, but a fun addition to this summer sipper.
Fill the glass most of the way with ice.
If using the lime wedge, squeeze it over the ice and add it to the glass.
Add the tequila followed by the limeade and give the drink a gentle stir.
Garnish with a slice of jalapeno, if desired.
Simple Tip!
Its easy to scale the recipe up and batch it for a crowd.
For eight drinks, combine 1 1/2 cups tequila and 3 cups limeade in a pitcher and stir.
