Cocktail: Stef 's Spicy Margarita
A Note from Stef
We discovered our love for spicy margs while on our honeymoon to Zihuatenejo. I can’t explain what made them so insanely good, maybe something in the water, but we haven’t had anything quite like it…until now. After we returned home, we were on the hunt to find a marg that rivaled the one we had grown to love while in Mexico. After sampling margaritas from Chicago’s finest establishments (it was a tough gig, highly recommend) we ended up taking matters into our own hands to perfect a recipe that was exactly how we liked our drink, spicy! We are now going on our fourth summer of growing our own jalapenos, something I didn’t realize I would love to do. Caution when trying this recipe: you might not be able to find a marg while out and about that compares. Salud.
