Spicy Margarita
I grow my own Puerto Rican Chili Peppers and I love that overnight my plant produces so many peppers that I don’t even know what to do with them all. I have already used them to make Salsa and used them in my Mexican Food. However, I was thinking what else can I create. I like to think outside the box…As I am sure you’ve noticed. That is when it hit me. I could do a Margarita and spice the rim…wait, what if I spiced the entire Margarita including the rim. Ok, I think I may be on to something. I will let you be the judge. Speaking of, if you “want” a mocktail, omit the tequila…It’s ok I won’t judge or will I???
