- Tip: If you prefer a non-spicy version, simply omit the jalapeño slice.
STORAGE & REHEATING
While the Passion Fruit Margarita is best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover margarita mix in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just remember to shake it again before serving! However, margaritas do not freeze well due to the ice diluting the flavor.
