Don’t let the jalapeño scare you, this will not set your lips on fire – it just leaves you with the great taste of fresh jalapeños with your margarita. Maybe I should change the name to “Gentle Jalapeño Margarita”.
I’m always too scared to order these at a restaurant, but when you’re able to control the heat at home, its a game changer.
Adding the sliced jalapeño to the shaker gently muddles them into your margarita for the perfect balance. Y’all let me know what you think!
