Spicy and delicious, this Jalapeno Margarita Mocktail has the perfect amount of kick.
Looking for a drink to spice up your Cinco de Mayo celebration? This tangy mocktail is perfect for everyone!
I love coming up with mocktails because it caters to all. Once you have a good tasting mocktail, it can easily be adapted to become an alcoholic cocktail.
I infused the jalapeno into the simple syrup and it gives the drink the perfect kick. The syrup adds the sweet with a little bit of heat. You know the kind that warms you up and lingers for a while but doesn’t make you feel like your mouth is on fire? The tangy lime juice was combined with the sweet orange juice which both paired well with the jalapeno.
The drink was finished simply. A short glass rimmed with some salt and garnished it with a slice of lime and a slice of jalapeno. Let the celebrations begin. Cheers!
