Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and that means that we need some margarita recipes! I’m always a fan of trying something new, and this tropical margarita is one of my new favorites.
Margaritas don’t have to stop with tequila… It’s fun to add other alcohols to experiment with the taste. Rum is definitely the original tropical alcohol, and this rum margarita can trick you into thinking you’re on an island somewhere.
Watch how easy it is to make this recipe:
A tropical rum margarita will take you straight to the islands. Mouthwatering papaya, sweet cantaloupe, and a splash of Captain Morgan make the perfect boat drink. It’s not too sweet, and *maybe* just a tad strong ;)
Ingredients for the Tropical Rum Margarita:
- 0.25 Lime Juice
- 1 ounce Agave Nectar
- 1.5 Captain Morgan Cannon Blast rum
- 3 ounces Jose Cuervo Margarita
- Ice
- Papaya slices
- Cantaloupe slices
Directions:
- In a cocktail shaker add lime juice, agave nectar, rum, Jose Cuervo Margarita and lots of ice.
- Secure lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Strain into a glass filled with crushed ice.
- Garnish with papaya and cantaloupe slices.
- Serve.
- Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.

Hey Tiffany,
This has way too much sugar to be a 21 Day Fix recipe. I have a ton of other 21 Day Fix recipes, though, including a couple of margaritas. For my coconut margarita, you can actually swap the coconut Bai5 with any other flavor for a super yummy low calories treat swap for the 21 Day Fix. https://mycrazygoodlife.com/100-calorie-coconut-margarita-recipe/ :)
