When it comes to sipping on summertime drinks, margaritas are my go-to cocktail. I guess I can thank my Mexican heritage for my love of tequila! I was browsing for some beverage ideas for 4th of July (I ended up making this one) when I stumbled upon this delicious recipe for a strawberry jalapeño margarita this weekend and knew that I had to try it out! What is your favorite drink to shake up in the summer?
Ingredients:
- – 1½ oz. tequila
- – 1 oz. orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
- – ½ oz. agave nectar, or simple syrup
- – ¾ oz. fresh lime juice
- – 3 strawberries, sliced
- – 2 slices jalapeño
- – coarse sea salt for glasses
Directions:
- Muddle the sliced strawberries, jalapeño and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add the tequila, orange liqueur, and agave nectar. Add ice and shake for a few seconds to mix everything together and to get the drink cold.
- Run a lime wedge along the edge of the glass. Dip into a plate of salt to coat the edge. Add ice and strain the margarita into the glass. Garnish with a jalapeño slice.
