Jalapeño margarita is a tasty variation on the classic margarita, easy to make thanks to Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Limeade
This one was a no-brainer. First my skiing buddy, Mike, brought me a jug of Trader Joe’s Jalapeño Limeade. I had no idea this product exists. Then, I love margaritas. I’ve had jalapeño margaritas before, and so far, they’ve always been really good. You can buy jalapeño margarita mix in liquor stores … but of course it’s fairly expensive. The TJ’s Jalapeño Limeade is weaker than a mix, naturally, since it’s meant to be a drink by itself. But mix it with classic margarita ingredients and it makes a large (8 oz) awesome margarita.
Experiment with this yourself – it really does make a wonderful margarita. Hope you enjoy it!
