By Womaness Editors 1-Minute Read

Hot flashes? We prefer ours over ice.
Say hello to The Hot Flash, our signature spicy margarita and a cheeky nod to the heat that this stage of life can bring. A staple at any Womaness event, it's bold, fresh, and a little fiery…kind of like you. Perfect for a Friday night wind-down, a dinner party with your BFFs, or frankly, any moment that warrants a delicious toast (because, hi, we deserve LOTS of those in midlife!).
THE HOT FLASH SPICY MARGARITA
Ingredients
• 1.5 oz cucumber jalapeño infused tequila (we love the 21Seeds version for its smooth, cooling kick)
• ½ oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz pink simple syrup (Pink House Alchemy makes a great one)
• Spicy rim salt (check out Saltery Hot Salt)
• Ice
• Optional garnish: lime or cucumber slice
Directions
Add everything to a shaker with 1.5 cups of ice. Shake it like you mean it—30 seconds is the secret sauce here. Pour into a glass and garnish with a lime or cucumber slice. Want to level it up? Rub the rim of your glass with lime and dip it in hot salt for a touch of extra heat.
Sip. Smile. Repeat.
