This Margarita is spicy thanks to the jalapeno, refreshing and a little sweet from the watermelon! Add a salted rim to the equation and it’s the perfect contrast of flavors. The cocktail of Summer! It’s everything you want and more… and kinda healthy. No added sugars. It’s really a fruit salad in a glass, if you think about it 🙃
For this recipe, you will infuse your tequila with jalapeno slices. Combine about ½ cup of tequila with ½ jalapeno (thinly sliced) and let it get infused for 30 minutes to 24 hours (the longer you infuse, the spicier it will be)
