Today I decided to toy with margaritas by adding a not-so-convential ingredient, strawberries. These Strawberry Jalapeno Margaritas are refreshing while offering a little bit of heat via the jalapeños. Margaritas are on heavy repeat for me lately and dressing it up with different fruits this summer has been fun. I hope you enjoy these Strawberry Jalapeno Margaritas soon.
