Notes

  • You can increase or decrease the amount of simple syrup depending on your sweetness preferences
  • This recipe can be easily halved, doubled or tripled based on how many margarita's you are making
  • It is important to make sure you use the seeds of the jalapeño when making this or it won't get spicy enough
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can easily make it at home by boiling a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water until it turns into a syrupy consistency
