Margarita with Jalapeno-Infused Tequila
Margaritas are by far one of the best summer drinks, but do know what's even better? Spicy margaritas! We bring this drink to a whole new level by infusing our tequila with the wonderful jalapeno pepper. Garnish with lime and you're set for the night.

Jalapeno-Infused Tequila
- 1 cup tequila
- 2 large jalapeno peppers
Directions
- Slice the jalapenos into rings and add them to a container with a lid.
