Chili Lime Mango Margaritas

Some days, you wake up and by about midday, you know that it's a margarita kind of day. If today is that day for you, definitely give this one a try.

Instead of just making a lime margaritas, we added in mango for a sweet twist. But we added some flame - a zesty, spicy salt rim. Talk about a drink with all the flavors. 

This margarita is sure to heat you up in all the good ways while cooling you off at the same time.  It pairs the beautiful flavor of ripe mango with the satisfying chili powder spice in the comfort of your favorite drink. Cheers!
