The pros: Trader Joe's BBQ Chicken Pizza is loaded with toppings which makes for one filling pizza.
The cons: Smaller than some pizzas in the frozen pizza. Not a traditional pizza which might not sit well with purists. Has cilantro on it, so if you are not a fan of that flavor you might want to avoid this.
The verdict: Â ...
You know how some cocktails just whisper "sip me"? Yeah, this one screams it… probably because there's a jalapeño in it.
If you've ever grabbed Trader Joe's Organic Jalapeño Limeade and thought, "Now this needs booze," we're already best friends. This spicy margarita is fast, fabulous, and won't require you to muddle anything while crying into your cutting board. You just need a few ingredients, a cocktail shaker (or anything with a lid-no judgment), and a craving for something sweet, sour, and spicy enough to feel alive again.
Oh, and yes-you can totally batch this for a party. Just try not to drink it all before guests arrive.
The key to a good Margarita is using good-quality Tequila. Make sure it says 100% agave. Silver Tequila is best for mixing. The best tequila is what you already have at home. If you happen to have a bottle that's labeled Anejo, save that for sipping and not for mixing.
Absolutely. Reposado gives it a smoother, oaky flavor. Mezcal adds smoke if you're into that.
You can sub in Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or even skip it-just expect a tarter margarita.
They do! It's usually seasonal, so stock up when you see it. You won't regret hoarding it.
Step 1: Rim your glass (optional but fancy): Rub a lime wedge around the edge and dip it in TajÃn or coarse salt.
Step 2: Shake it like you mean it: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in Trader Joe's Jalapeño Limeade, silver tequila, and triple sec.
Step 2: Shake it like you mean it: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in Trader Joe's Jalapeño Limeade, silver tequila, and triple sec.
Step 3: Strain & serve: Shake vigorously, strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
Step 4: Garnish (if you're feeling it): Float a jalapeño slice or lime wheel on top to remind everyone you're a mixology icon.
If margaritas were a personality type, this one would be "chaotic good." It's bold, spicy, and just a little unhinged-like all the best summer stories. And let's be honest: this drink is dangerously easy to make (and even easier to drink).
So, grab that bottle of Jalapeño Limeade and get shaking. You deserve a cocktail that hits you with a kick of heat and a punch of flavor.

If you've ever wished your limeade had a bit more attitude, Trader Joe's Organic Jalapeño Limeade might be exactly what you're looking for. Priced at $2.79 for a 32-oz bottle, this bold, citrusy drink brings together the tang of lime with a hint of jalapeño heat, making it one of the more unique beverage offerings in the refrigerated section.
When I first saw this, I wasn't sure what to expect. Jalapeño? In limeade? It sounded like it could go either way. But Trader Joe's actually pulled this one off better than I thought they would.
The first thing you notice is the citrusy lime punch: tart and bright, like a classic limeade. But then comes the surprise: a gentle back-of-the-throat heat from the jalapeño that lingers just long enough to keep things interesting. It's not overwhelming or face-sweating spicy, it's more of a slow burn that complements the sweetness instead of clashing with it.
That balance between sweet, tart, and spicy is what makes this worth trying. It's flavorful on its own but also shines as a cocktail mixer (more on that below). I don't see it becoming an everyday drink for me, but on a hot day or when you want something that tastes a little different, this is a fun change of pace.
Yes, this is one of those products that is available during the late spring and summer time. So if you love it stock up.
Not overly-just a gentle jalapeño heat that builds at the end.
Best within 7-10 days once refrigerated.
Absolutely-it's especially good with tequila or vodka.
Certified organic.
What did I end up doing with this? I made Spicy Jalapeno Limeade Margaritas:

The pros: Â Trader Joe's Stacked Eggplant Parmesan is a gem in the freezer aisle of Trader Joe's.
The cons: Â Not as cheesy as the picture would lead you to believe. Contents are enough for a single dinner. I probably could have eaten a tray of this.
The verdict: Â ...
The pros:Â Trader Joe's Chicken Parmesan Lollipops have the texture of the inside of a Totino's pizza roll. They seem like a good idea.
The cons: Â Major product design issues. This just didn't work as a food that belongs on a stick. If it were in an eggroll, it would have been fine.
