Around here, the start of September brings with it cooler weather, warmer fire pits and friendly gatherings that usually involve a cocktail or two. We’ve found the perfect balance of refreshing flavor with a bite of pepper to really heat things up in the latest Watermelon Habanero Shrub from Kansas City Canning Co. Naturally, we had to put it to work in a simple margarita.
Luckily, the recipe for this one is pretty straightforward and the measurements are even printed right on the bottle. Start by rimming a glass with salt. Even if you’re not a salt lover (I’m admittedly not), it really does the job to cut the spicy punch of the habanero as you’re drinking. Trust me on this one, start by rimming a glass with salt.
Add ice, tequila and the shrub to a shaker. Shake shake shake.

Strain the ice, pour into your glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Then, simply enjoy!
The unique flavor combo is not only delicious, but makes for a fun adventure for friends and guests. Really step up your hostessing game with a mix-your-own bar using Kansas City Canning Co.’s fun seasonal collection of shrubs. Or, consider adding some of their famous Spiced Pickled Beets or Clementine Thyme Marmalade for awesome appetizers.
