  • Finally, top each drink with La Croix Lime and garnish with jalapenos, limes, and/or cilantro.
  • Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

To make this Skinny Spicy Jalapeno Margarita even spicier, add the jalapeno seeds. Muddling your jalapenos will also give it an extra punch of heat. You can also infuse the tequila with the jalapenos by slicing one very thinly and adding to the tequila. Refrigerate for 2-3 days to allow the tequila to absorb the jalapeno flavor.
If you want to tone down this drink, add more Lime La Croix. To minimize spice, remove the jalapeno seeds. Like an extra sweet marg? Add some lemonade, agave, or grapefruit juice!
