Raspberry Habanero Margarita

April 28, 2017 By Phillip @ SouthernFATTY.com 4 Comments

Raspberry Habanero Margarita from Southern Fatty

You may have noticed that I’ve been on this sweet and spicy kick lately. I used to be one of those anti-spicy people, but have slowly started enjoying it in the right situations. Pretty sure I have Nashville hot chicken to blame for that.

When I was asked to toss in a margarita recipe for Margarita Week (it’s a thing.), I immediately thought of the sweet and spicy combo. Maybe it’s because I’m sweet and spicy. Maybe just because I love a good margarita. Either way, a good margarita is a must-have for the Spring and Summer BBQ season.

Frozen was the name of the marg game for this recipe. Honestly, I didn’t even think twice about this. When I was testing this cocktail (I know… this is a really miserable job, y’all), it was blazing hot outside and I wanted to use the drink as an excuse to cool down from my belly out.

I’m normally a no salt kinda guy with these sips. Kinda odd, because I put extra salt on nearly everything else (Chinese takeout, pizza, all of that blood pressure loving stuff). For this mix, I blended sugar and a bit of chili powder. I was expecting a total flop, but it ended up being perfect. Mostly sweet with just a little heat left on the end, it really made the drink.

Since a normal frozen margarita is just boring, this one swirls in an incredible simple to make raspberry habanero syrup. How do you make that? Raspberries, sugar, and habaneros. I ended up eating some (most) of this with a spoon. It’s not crazy hot, but just keeps a touch of warmth that is a match made in tequila heaven.

If you finish this margarita and want to make a hundred more, check out the Margarita Week recipes that other bloggers are sharing during the next week.

Cheers, y’all!
