Sweet & Spicy Ginger Tequila
I need a drink. Yup, I succeeded in stressing myself out. Where’s the booze??? I usually go for the quick vodka/cranberry, vodka/lemonade, vodka/squirt, vodka/redbull… basically everything goes with vodka! Sad to say I didn’t have my trusty vodka in stock, but I did have some Don Julio! A couple of weeks ago my Aunt, who is obsessed with Dr.Oz made me this margarita that she saw on his show. It was very sour, with a KICK!!!! I decided to keep the same elements, just sweeten it up.
The best thing about this drink is that all the ingredients are always in stock, at least in our fridge. This cocktail has so many levels, the hint of sweet ginger, a light kick from the jalapeno, and the cilantro gives it such freshness. This drink not only cleansed my palate, but also cleared my mind

This drink is so refreshing. It definitely will go well with summertime bbq’s OR just kicking back on a beautiful sun shiny day! I never thought to put jalapeño or cilantro in a drink — the key is to chop the jalapeno finely, as well the cilantro. It’s almost like a margarita but better!
