Summer’s here and it’s time to make margaritas. But not just any margarita. A refreshingly tangy Peach Habanero Margarita zestfully prepared with RFK Peach Habanero Artisan Fruit Spread. Let’s get this party started.
WHAT YOU NEED
1 jar of RFK Peach Habanero Artisan Fruit Spread
3 oz. of tequila

Ice
Shaker
INSTRUCTIONS
Put the tequila, margarita mix, lime juice and one heaping teaspoon of Peach Habanero fruit spread into the shaker. Add one scoop of ice. Cap it and shake it like you mean it.
Dip your glass in a plate of margarita mix to wet the rim. Dip the moistened rim in the lemon salt. Pour your shaker into the salt-rimmed glass and garnish with a peach/blackberry slice.
