We went to St. Thomas in February and when I saw Strawberry Jalapeno margaritas on the menu, I had to try it! I don’t like the frozen super sweet margaritas, I like to taste the tequila. The strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness (plus the pink is so pretty!) and the jalapeno adds some nice heat. They are a bit of an effort to make as you have to hand squeeze the strawberries but it’s worth the effort 🙂 Cheers!
Strawberry Jalapeno Margarita
- 4 Jiggers of your favorite tequila
- 2 Jiggers of Cointreau
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 Tbsp of simple syrup
- 10 strawberries
- 1 jalapeno
- Margarita salt, optional
- ice
- Add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- With your hands, squeeze the juice from 8 of the strawberries into the cocktail shaker. You want the color to be quite pink. Depending on how ripe your strawberries are, you made need more than 8.
- Rim the glasses with salt if you like and add ice to the glasses. Slice the 2 remaining strawberries and add to the glasses. Slice the jalapeno very thin and add 1 to the glass if you are afraid of the heat, up to 4 or 5 if you like the heat.
- Vigorously shake the margaritas and pour into the prepared glasses.
To call this a “recipe” is kind of a joke. Chicken + BBQ sauce + Slow cooker = Easiest dinner ever. The chicken is so delicious, it’s hard to believe you did nothing. Continue reading Crockpot BBQ Chicken →
