I’ve been loving margaritas with reposado tequila lately because they have just a *little* bit more flavor. Tequila: Silver (blanco) or reposado tequila will work for this recipe. This recipe is totally open to personal customization and adjusting the ingredient amounts to fit your taste! Feel free to use serrano peppers in place of jalapeno peppers if you’re really craving some heat. But we’ve all had those random super spicy jalapenos before, so just approach with caution if you’re super sensitive to spicy foods! If your gut tells you to use more than four slices of jalapeno, do it. Generally speaking, this is a milder cocktail when used with a typical jalapeno. Jalapeno Slices: Jalapenos can be tricky because the heat level varies from pepper to pepper. Toss them with the sugar and they will thaw in time to be muddled with the jalapenos. The question is always, “can I use frozen?”. I recommend finding the freshest, ripest, most beautiful strawberries you can find for these margaritas if possible. Tequila (Silver or Reposado)įresh Strawberries: As with any fresh ingredient, the higher the quality it is, the better your cocktails will taste. Don’t be deterred by taking a little extra time to macerate the strawberries I’ve tested many versions of spicy strawberry margaritas, and this is the best version without making a special simple syrup or using a blender. To draw out as much strawberry flavor as possible, the strawberries macerate in sugar for twenty minutes before being muddled for this cocktail recipe. □ If you need more than two strawberry jalapeño margaritas, just double or triple the recipe! This recipe makes two spicy strawberry margaritas, and after you let the strawberries macerate in sugar for twenty minutes, they come together in no time! I use 1/2 cup of macerated strawberries per two margaritas, so I always start with one cup of strawberries in anticipation of the two of us each having two margaritas. However, these homemade strawberry jalapeno margaritas are deliciously natural, and the heat can be adjusted to fit your preference. Strawberry margaritas can be tricky because they’re typically made with a super sweet strawberry “syrup” at most restaurants, so replicating them with natural ingredients at home doesn’t quite warrant the same results.
