September 09, 2022

Ingredients
- 4 cups Margarita Mix (we like Jose Cuervo)
- 2 shots Silver Tequila
- 1 shot Gold Tequila
- 1 shot Triple Sec
- 1 shot Blue Curaçao
- 1 whole Orange (peeled)
- 1 whole Lime (plus wedges for garnish)
- 2 cups Ice
- Slow Noon seasoning (for rim salt)
Instructions
Prep Your Glass Like a Pro
-
Spread Slow Noon seasoning in a small plate-sized mound.
-
Cut your lime into wedges.
-
Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, squeezing gently for juice.
-
Dip and twist the rim in Slow Noon until fully coated in glorious chili-lime-basil magic.
Mix the Magic
-
In a blender, add margarita mix, silver tequila, gold tequila, triple sec, blue curaçao, the peeled orange, lime juice, and ice.
-
Blend until it’s a smooth, frosty slush.
Pour & Adore
-
Pour into your Slow Noon–rimmed glass.
-
Garnish with a lime wedge.
-
Snap a photo (you’ll thank yourself later).
Repeat Until…
-
You’re either out of ingredients or out of daylight.
This isn’t just a drink. It’s a portable happy hour, a mini vacation, and a sweet-spicy story waiting to happen. One sip, and you’ll see why this combo of citrus, chili, and tequila is a must-have for every summer gathering.
Pro Tip
- Want more heat? Sprinkle extra Slow Noon directly into the blender.
- Make it a mocktail: skip the tequila and triple sec, swap margarita mix for limeade, and still rim with Slow Noon for a kick.
- Always, always drink responsibly — the better these taste, the easier it is to “accidentally” have a few too many.
