Jalapeno Margarita Skinny: A Refreshing Twist on the Classic Cocktail

As someone who's always been hesitant to try new cocktails, I was surprised to find myself falling head over heels for a jalapeno margarita skinny. Like an old-fashioned, once you learn how to craft a decent cocktail and develop a recipe that resonates with your taste buds, it can become your go-to drink.

The problem with most bar or restaurant margaritas is that they're often made with pre-mixed concoctions loaded with sugar, leaving them tasting too sweet and lacking the freshness of lime juice. But fear not, dear cocktail enthusiasts! I'm here to share an easy four-ingredient recipe for a skinny spicy margarita from scratch that's so fresh and flavorful, you'll never go back to mixes again.

Before I got into making cocktails from scratch, I always avoided margaritas in bars. However, with this recipe, I've discovered the joy of sipping on a refreshing summer cocktail that's perfect for Taco Tuesday (or any day of the week).

To make this skinny spicy margarita, you'll need just four ingredients: jalapenos, lime juice, agave, and vodka or tequila. Yes, you read that right – I prefer vodka over tequila, despite being no fun according to some. This recipe is perfect for those who like their drinks very flavorful, with a kick of spice.

Here's how to make it:

1. Muddle the jalapenos into the shaker to your desired level of heat.

2. Add the liquor, lime juice, agave, and orange juice to a blender along with some cucumber slices.

3. Blend until smooth, almost like a juice.

4. Strain the mixture into a chili powder and sea salt-rimmed glass filled with ice.

Garnish with an extra lime slice, jalapeño piece, or cucumber slice, and you're ready to enjoy your skinny spicy margarita. I adapted this recipe from Gimme Some Oven's original recipe, so be sure to check it out for more delicious cocktail ideas.
