Check out how to make your own Jalapeno Cantaloupe Margarita below!
Mixing up your Jalapeno Cantaloupe Margarita
Our Jalapeno cantaloupe Margarita is pretty straight forward to make, toss in some tequila, cantaloupe, and a little Grand Marnier and you have yourself the perfect spicy, sweet, and a little fruity Margarita to sip with friends by the pool. If you are feeling extra spicy toss in some cut up jalapenos into your cocktail mixture! You can also consider blending up some fresh cantaloupe to add more flavor. Caution this drink can be extra spicy and highly addictive. You may just need to make a large batch so make sure you have lots on hand.
How About a Jalapeno Cantaloupe Mocktail or Slushy?
Both a mocktail and a slushy are always an option! For a mocktail you simply need to replace both your tequilas with either a juice, sparkling water, or ginger ale drink of your choice. Add some Jalapeno juice or cut some up so you get that kick still. Replace your Grand Marnier with orange juice or sparkling orange soda.
If you want to create an alcoholic slushy version simply add your cocktail mixture to a blender with tons of ice and blend away, you can also find frozen cantaloupe pieces at your local grocery store and use those to create a delicious slushy! If you happen to own a slushy maker or Margaritaville you can also use those.
