Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita

I love experimenting with different variations of margaritas, because the possibilities are so endless! For this spicy strawberry riff, I used orgeat (instead of a traditional agave) syrup, which gave it this incredible creaminess and nuttiness.

Ingredients:

  • 2 strawberries (roughly chopped)

  • 2 jalapeño slices

  • ½ oz orgeat syrup

  • 1 oz lime juice

  • ¾ oz triple sec

  • 2 oz tequila blanco

  • garnish: strawberry slice

Directions:

Combine strawberries, jalapeño, orgeat, and lime juice into a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add Cointreau and tequila. Add ice and shake vigorously for approximately thirty seconds, until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a strawberry slice.
