Collins Chicago Jalapeño Margarita Mix 32 fl oz — Real Jalapeño Puree & 49% Juice, Ready-to-Use Cocktail Mixer

Collins Jalapeno Margarita Mix is a ready-to-use, 32 fl oz cocktail mixer made with real jalapeno puree and citrus juices so you can add tequila for a spicy margarita in seconds.

Made from water, real sugar, lime, lemon and orange concentrates, and green jalapeno puree, this mixer brings bright citrus and pepper heat together in a shelf-stable bottle. With 49% juice and natural flavors, the mix removes the guesswork from spicy margaritas—measure, shake or blend, and serve. It contains preservatives for freshness and no high-fructose corn syrup.

How spicy is this mix and how can I control the heat?

The heat comes from real jalapeno puree, giving a noticeable but approachable pepper kick rather than extreme scorch. You control the spice by adjusting mixer-to-tequila ratios, diluting with ice or adding a splash of simple syrup or extra citrus to tame it.

• Contains green jalapeno puree (jalapeno, salt, citric acid).
• Mix ratios change perceived heat—use more mixer for milder spice.
• Blend with ice for a frozen drink that softens heat.
• Add sweetener or extra lime to reduce pepper intensity.

What ingredients are in the bottle and are there any artificial sweeteners?

This mix combines water, sugar, citrus juice concentrates, jalapeno puree, natural flavors and stabilizers; it uses real sugar rather than artificial sweeteners or high-fructose corn syrup. Preservatives such as sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are included to maintain shelf stability.

• Contains 49% juice from lime, lemon and orange concentrates.
• Sweetened with real sugar — no HFCS listed.
• Includes xanthan gum for texture and natural flavor components.
• Preservatives: sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, sodium metabisulfite.

How do I make a cocktail with this mix and can I batch it for parties?

To make a classic jalapeno margarita, combine Collins Jalapeno Margarita Mix with tequila and ice, then shake or blend. The bottle provides bartender-recommended ratios, and the product scales easily for pitchers, making it ideal for gatherings and quick batch cocktails.

• Suggested single-serve: mix with tequila and ice, shake or blend.
• For pitchers: multiply single-serve ratio to serve several guests.
• Garnish ideas: salted rim, lime wheel, or jalapeno slice.
• Works for on-the-rocks, frozen, or cocktail variations like palomas.

How should I store it and what is the shelf life once opened?

Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use within the manufacturer’s recommended timeframe to preserve flavor and quality; chilling also keeps the citrus and jalapeno bright.

• Unopened: store in pantry or cabinet, away from heat.
• Opened: refrigerate to extend freshness and flavor.
• Shake before use to redistribute jalapeno puree and oils.
• Check bottle label for any printed best-by guidance.
