The newest Wingstop Drop is Wingstop Fiery Lime, a bold, craveable limited-time flavor inspired by the classic spicy margarita. The spicy margarita’s irresistible balance of heat, citrus, and sweetness—along with its bold, refreshing kick—has made it one of the most beloved and enduring cocktails, and this new Wingstop flavor takes after it by combining red chili heat with tangy lime zest.
Chef Larry Bellah, Wingstop's Head of Culinary and R&D, says, "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."
Made for fans who crave heat and the unexpected, Fiery Lime promises to amp up the excitement of Thanksgiving, friendsgiving, watch parties and more.
