Ginger Jalapeno Margarita

September 13, 2013

Ginger MargaritaI love infused syrups and I love margaritas… so this past weekend I thought… why not mix the two?!?  I had some ginger syrup and thought that mixing it with some homemade jalapeno tequila could be just the thing… and it was!  Refreshing with a fun kick!

Mango-Jalapeno Margaritas

August 23, 2013

I love infused alcohol and am always looking for fun, new recipes, so when I came across this great one for Mango Jalapeno Margaritas, I knew I found a winner!
Mango Jalapeno Margarita

I whipped up the mango syrup and infused tequila the night before, then tripled the recipe in a pitcher and served it up to some very receptive guests!

Tips:

  • I added a whole mango to the syrup (rather than a half)
  • Start with less syrup then add more depending on your taste
  • I added some extra lime juice and also topped it with some seltzer water
