Sweet and spicy Red Raspberry Jalapeno Margaritas should be on every margarita loves favorite list!
Raise your hand and tell me…. who here is a margarita fan?! Heck, I’m raising both hands! Whenever we hit up a Mexican Restaurant there’s two things on the list.
1) Chips and queso
2.) Margaritas on the rocks
I mean those are just two musts for me! What do you think?
Honestly, I’ve never really gave it much effort at home to make my own. I tend to not drink very much anymore so the occasional margarita while eating supper out or a glass of wine is about all I do. However, after making this margarita… I may be enjoying a marg a little more often now. This has already turned into my favorite flavor!!
While Cinco de Mayo only happens once a year… #CorralejoTequila is around all the year and you can bet I’m going to be drinking it in every margarita I make! 🙂
So you’re wondering how to make this deliciousness, right? It’s very simple. Create a simple syrup, add the raspberries and jalapeños to a blender and combine the two! That’s truly all it is.
Needless to say… this will become a staple in house. I mean I am wedding planning right now…. so it’s only natural!
