SPICY JALAPEÑ0 MARGARITA

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 generally 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. If you want more heat, muddle yourself with the tequila before adding all ingredients.

Y’all let me know what you think!
