Habanero Margarita – A fresh margarita is a transportive experience. Our Classic and Habanero Margarita Mixers put the journey in a bottle with just the right amount of satisfying spice. And to take it up a notch for Cinco de Mayo, we’re including a bottle of Hella Smoked Chilli Bitters.

Hella Smoked Chilli Bitters – The smoked chili’s we found for this formula are unlike anything we’ve tasted before. The bitters we crafted with them are satisfyingly spicy, rich, smoky and transportive, adding a know-not-what depth to your cocktails. Simply put, margaritas will never be the same.

A great recipe using the Habanero Margarita mix and Chili Bitters is:
