A spicy take on the classic! Served over ice with slices of fresh jalapeño.
To properly celebrate National Margarita Day I wanted to create a new margarita recipe! This is a take on a classic margarita with a fun, spicy twist! These Margaritas mix Silver Tequila, lime & orange juice, with a really easy Jalapeño simple syrup to create the perfectly sweet & spicy cocktail. The amount of heat is easily adjustable to fit any spice level so don’t be afraid of the spice in these guys! My fiancé cannot handle spice what so ever & I made him a milder version that he loved.
Jalapeño Margaritas became really trendy a few years back & now they’re on every cocktail menu. And for good reason because they’re delicious! These cocktails are best serviced with a plate full of tacos but will also be delicious to sip on anytime!
