How do I store leftover Frozen Spicy Mango Margarita with Jalapeño?
Refrigerate any leftover frozen spicy mango margarita with jalapeño in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
Can I substitute ingredients in Frozen Spicy Mango Margarita with Jalapeño?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
