Notes

Aleka's Margarita Tips

- Use a lowball glass OR a margarita glass to serve your cocktail.

- Freeze your glass first for a frosty presentation.

- Rim the glass with Tajin or coarse salt for an extra fancy cocktail.

- Adjust the amount of jalapeño simple syrup to your taste.

- Use fresh lime juice, bottled is too sour!

- Serve at a fiesta, birthday party, or even unwind on Taco Tuesday ;-)
