Hi friends! Happy Sunday, and Happy National Margarita Day. I’m never really into those national food holidays… unless they include chocolate or cocktails. ?
The Pilot and I enjoyed this sweet and spicy concoction last night:
Frozen strawberries with a jalapeño-infused honey simple syrup, fresh lime, triple sec, and tequila.
Quite the fiesta in your face. ?
Here’s the recipe if you’d like to give it a try!
Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita
A sweet and spicy twist on the classic ‘rita.

Scale
Ingredients
- For the jalapeño-infused simple syrup: (you will have enough for at least two margaritas, but feel free to double it!)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
For the margarita
- .75 oz (1/2 shot) tequila
- .75 oz triple sec
- 1.5 oz jalapeño simple syrup (recipe below)
- Juice of one lime
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
Instructions
- To make the simple syrup, combine the honey and water in a small pot on high heat. Whisk well as the liquid heats up. Once it starts to bubble, remove from heat, and add the jalapeño. Let cool to room temperature.
- Next, blend the margarita ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth and frothy. Serve immediately and garnish with a slice of lime.
Notes
- Tip: make extra simple syrup to store and have on hand!
