Why I love this recipe

It's pretty much a rule in our fam that when the weather hits 95+ degrees, I'm bringing out the margs. I'm bringing back one of my favorite recipes from the old blog days because it deserves to be front and center this weekend!

This Strawberry JalapeƱo Margaritas came to be almost 11 YEARS AGO at our wedding. Our caterers and bartenders worked with us to craft a few specialty cocktails for our guests and this margarita was hands down the crowd fav. So much so that we ran out of tequila before happy hour was even over and had to go get some more from the market before dinner! I should note that we also did a pre-ceremony happy hour so a lot of cocktails were handed out before the actual dinner!! Clearly we've got a tequila loving crowd.

These are sweet from the strawberries, a little spicy from the jalapeƱo and the perfect refreshing cocktail after a long week!! (Psst! If you love this recipe, you have to try my refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade!) The recipe below serves 2, but you can easily batch these up and make them ahead of time if serving a crowd. Just make sure to give the mixture a stir before pouring so you ensure the alcohol is evenly combined!

Ingredients

  • Ripe Strawberries
  • JalapeƱo
  • Limes, juiced
  • Agave Nectar
  • Blanco Tequila
  • Sparkling Water

How to make Strawberry JalapeƱo Margaritas

  • Combine the strawberries and jalapeƱo pepper in a small blender and blend until smooth. Strain if you prefer but Iā€™m lazy and usually don't bother. Pour the contents of the blender in a shaker.
  • Add the lime juice, agave nectar and tequila and a handful of ice. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake for 30-60 seconds to mix and chill the margarita
  • Strain the juice out and serve the Strawberry JalapeƱo Margaritas over ice with a splash of sparkling water

Tips and Tricks

The recipe below makes enough for roughly 2 margaritas, but lets be honest, if you've having friends over, you might want to 4x the Strawberry JalapeƱo Margaritas recipe!! And the best way to batch this cocktail is in the blender. Blending together those beautiful summer strawberries with jalapeƱos is quick and easy and then all you have to do is basically add in your tequila. Here's a pro tip: this strawberry jalapeƱo mixture will freeze beautifully so if you want to make a big batch and then freeze some of the juice in ice cube trays, you can use that all fall/winter long for fresh strawberry margs! You are WELCOME!
