Spicy Strawberry Margarita – Margarita de Fresa Picante

Spicy Strawberry Margarita – Margarita de Fresa Picante

I’m spicing it up this Valentine’s Day with a margarita that is sure to have your loved ones feeling the heat.  Using one of my favorite chiles, dried chile piquins are grinded with sugar to make a sinfully spicy paste that really kicks up the classic simple syrup. Combine this chile infused simple syrup with strawberry juice, tequila and lime juice to create this Spicy Margarita.

Fiery flavor plus a burst of cooling fresh fruit juice – Happy Valentine’s Day!

I like to use fresh juice for all my margaritas, but a few of my readers have asked if fresh can be substituted with store-purchased.  Of course, but please select a quality juice.
