Jalapeno Margarita
Tirzah is one of my followers. She is very nice and was talking to me about a Jalapeno Margarita she had in a restaurant and how much she loved it. She asked me to make a recipe for one because she would like to make it at home. So here it is!
It is so delicious, a little spicy, a nice version of a margarita. I am so hooked on them that know I prefer it over a regular margarita!
Use good quality tequila. Better ingredients make better drinks! Use fresh lime juice and fresh jalapeno. Trust me, you are not going to regret it! I use agave syrup because it goes best with tequila, that comes out of agave. But you can use honey if you prefer. It works too.
Shake it with a handful of ice, garnish with a slice of jalapeno and lime and enjoy it!
