This Popular Wing Spot Just Dropped A New Menu Item Inspired By A Spicy Margarita

Wingstop

Any spicy margarita fans in the house? I’m happy for you guys, but me personally, I’m not a big fan of heat in my cocktails. But spicy foods on the other hand? My absolute favorite. That’s exactly why there’s a new cocktail-inspired collaboration that quickly peaked my interest. This week, Wingstop revealed that it’s releasing a limited-time flavor inspired by a spicy margarita. That bold new flavor is Fiery Lime, a saucy combination of red chili heat and tangy lime zest that channels a spicy marg.

With so many restaurants embracing typical holiday flavors this season, Wingstop admitted that it wanted to do things a little different with its unique new offering.

"Fiery Lime was born from spicy margs that are all the rage, featuring the lime and chili kick that keeps you coming back," said Chef Larry Bellah, Wingstop's Head of Culinary and R&D, in a statement. "My personal take for the ultimate flavor experience? Order Fiery Lime to be sauced-and-tossed on our classic wings, with a side of ranch, and wash it down with a spicy marg. My friend Alan has a pro tip to use lots of lime and add a side of Fiery Lime sauce to your order and rim your glass to take it to the next level."

The new Fiery Lime wings have even gotten the approval of Alan Ruesga-Pelayo, Teremana Tequila's Global Brand Ambassador. He noted that the zesty wings are “the perfect match” for Teremana’s spicy margarita. If you’d like to indulge in the combination of Wingstop’s Fiery Lime wings and spicy margs, you can find the recipe for Teremana Tequila’s spicy margarita below (serves 8 to 10 people):
