SPICY JALAPENO-INFUSED MARGARITA

Spicy Jalapeno-Infused Margarita image

I have been infusing tequila for years with anything from jalapenos to blueberries. I like to use a good brand of tequila but it is not necessary since this tequila is not meant to be served in shots but in drinks, such as margaritas.
