Kiwi Margaritas are made with kiwi, fresh squeezed orange, tequila, sweet and sour mix and melon liqueur for a tasty twist on a classic margarita.
Margaritas are one of my go to drink choices. However, flavored margaritas I am a bit picky on because they tend to be too syrupy but these Kiwi Margaritas hit the spot and the kiwi flavor is amazing! The secret? Using real kiwi, melon liqueur and that splash of orange juice!
These Kiwi Margaritas are really simple. Just slice some kiwi, juice a fresh orange and add to a blender with the liquor and sweet and sour. Toss in some ice and blend until you get a frozen margarita. For flavored margaritas, I like to use sugar instead of salt sometimes so rim the glass whichever way you prefer!
