New Leaf Fizzy Margarita
Fizzy Margaritas are bubbly, refreshing, and perfect for weekend sipping.
And our effervescent, simple version of the classic margarita comes with a New Mexican twist.
Some margarita mixers can be filled with syrup and are overly sweet and heavy. But in this version of the cocktail, tart lime, tequila, and fizzy New Leaf Hard Seltzer come together for a light and refreshing summer sipper.
Of course, you could go the traditional route and use salt on the rim of your glass. But if you want to add some spice and color, combine some New Mexican red chile powder to the salt for the rim of your glass.
Let’s get mixing!
