Who doesn’t love a good margarita every once and awhile. Whether you’re celebrating taco Tuesday or hosting a fiesta-themed happy hour with friends, some get togethers just call for a good marg. But what to do when a craving hits but busting out the blender and juicing a doen limes just isn’t in the cards? We know just the snack!
Our Salted Margarita Popcorn features a summer-forever flavor favorite, Key Lime Pie Drizzled Popcorn, along with a few delicious mix ins. The salt, the lime, the "I’m officially on vacation mode" vibes—it’s about to become a go-to anytime you’ve got a marg on the mind but don’t want the tequila headache the next morning.
It’s crunchy, it’s zesty, and it’s as fun to make as it is to munch.
Grab your favorite bowl—it’s snack o’clock somewhere!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 Bag Safe + Fair Key Lime Pie Drizzled Popcorn: The star of the show. It brings that creamy, tart lime flavor and the perfect crunch.
- 2 Cups Pretzels (Twists or Sticks): For that essential "salt rim" energy.
- 1 Cup Roasted Salted Pepitas (Pumpkin Seeds): For a little nutty depth and extra crunch.
- The "Zest" Factor: Fresh lime zest and a generous pinch of flaky sea salt (Maldon is your friend here!).
- Optional Kick: A dusting of chili-lime seasoning (like Tajín) if you like your margs spicy.
What You’ll Do:
- The Base: In a large mixing bowl, dump in your entire bag of Safe + Fair Key Lime Pie Popcorn. Try not to eat half the bag during this step. I know, it’s hard.
- The Crunch: Toss in your pretzels and pepitas. The salt from the pretzels against the sweet lime drizzle is what dreams are made of.
- The Zest Quest: Grate the zest of one fresh lime over the mix. This awakens those citrus oils and makes the whole room smell like a tropical resort.
- The Finishing Touch: Sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt and the chili-lime seasoning if you’re feeling bold.
- The Shake: Give it a gentle toss (we want to keep those beautiful lime drizzles intact!) and serve.
- Pro Tip: Serve this in individual lime-rimmed glasses for the full "mocktail" effect at your next movie night or backyard hangout!
