The perfect holiday cocktail. Or really, the perfect anytime cocktail. Makes two margaritas, but easily scalable if you’re in the mood for a whole pitcher. Ingredients White sugar Ice 1 jalapeno, sliced and/or deseeded 4 oz (1/2 cup) blanco tequila, I prefer Casamigos 4 oz (1/2 […]

Hands down the best way to celebrate a taco tuesday. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno depending on your spice preference – we always leave them in around here. Because a spicy marg goes extra well with a bucket of queso. I don’t like anything […]
