Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise
“Excellent drink,” raves SueHoo . “I cut my half jalapeño into pieces before shaking the whole thing and it’s nice and zippy on the lips! Also, I used a big glass and made one jumbo margarita out of the recipe; that way one is plenty!!”
“I added a bit more agave nectar and garnished with a couple of fresh jalapeño slices and this is an excellent recipe,” according to one Allrecipes community member.
“I used green Thai chilies instead of jalapeños,” says el chefe . “I garnished with a whole red Thai chili in each glass, which looked rad. Not too spicy, but has a great kick. I’ll make it again!”
