Just imagining the sweet tang of strawberry mixing with the heat of jalapeƱo is mouthwatering, to say the least. They may seem an unlikely pair at first glance, but like with many sweet things, spicy works really well here. REALLY well.

A strawberry jalapeƱo margarita is one  of those summer show-stopper drinks that’ll energize a party. So pick up some fresh strawberries and a couple of jalapeƱo peppers before your next tequila-friendly shindig, and get ready for some serious smiles.
