The Best Skinny Jalapeno Margarita
These margaritas are fantastic, they are definitely spicy, so if you don't like spice they aren't for you. However, the spicier the better in my opinion. They are a great addition to dinner if you are serving Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas,Fish Tacos With Spicy Slaw or KETO JALAPENO POPPER CHICKEN CASSEROLE.
In the past, I haven't shared drinks with alcohol, but figured with spring coming, why not share some of my favorites for those Fridays on the deck. I'm not really a big drinker but margaritas are my biggest weakness. I love them but hate that they are full of sugar, calories, and carbs. Using monk fruit to make the simple syrup takes away all the guilt. However is you prefer real sugar you most definitely could sub it.
I left the jalapenos soaking in the tequila all weekend, so it was really spicy, if you prefer just a hint of spice, I would think a couple of hours would be good.
