Jalapeno Margaritas

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 8 cocktails
  • Total: 2 hr 10 min (includes chilling time)
  • Active: 10 min
Our easy make-ahead cocktail has a surprising kick, thanks to the addition of a whole jalapeno. (You can seed it if you want to tone down the heat.) Celery leaves provide an unexpected but cooling contrast.
