Autumn & Winter
Spicy Mango Marg
This Botivo twist on a spicy mango margarita is the perfect non-alcoholic cocktail to impress if you're hosting this autumn. We're serving it at our Halloween drinks, as a bit of a trick or treat - the trick is that secret chilli hit with extra warmth from the ginger tea, and the treat is that gorgeous bittersweet flavour and complexity from the Botivo. With a little heat, it's the perfect warming drink when it's a bit spooooky outside.
