Girls Gone Grillin’ Twist Ideas

Make it YOUR signature drink:

Smoked Margarita – add a pinch of smoked salt or briefly smoke the glass

Spicy Margarita – muddle jalapeños or add a pinch of chili seasoning (Hot Hens would be)

Grilled Citrus Margarita – grill your lime halves before juicing for a smoky flavor

Skinny Margarita – skip simple syrup, use fresh orange juice instead

Flavor Variations

Strawberry – blend with fresh strawberries

Mango – add mango puree

Watermelon – fresh juice = super refreshing

Pineapple – tropical + grill-friendly
