Happy Friday!! So for my first drink recipe I decided to make something that goes with the holiday this weekend, Cinco De Mayo! We celebrate it every year for my daughter’s birthday with a big bbq of Carne Asada. I usually do regular margaritas but Stephanie requested something different so these babies were created! I love jalapenos but I didn’t always because I was a wuss when it came to heat, now it’s grown on me. In this drink I recommend tasting how hot your jalapeno is first before tossing a bunch in, or you may get a mouth full of heat. If that’s what you’re into, go for it! Also, a lot of factors can change the flavor here, the sweetness of the berries, the ripeness of the limes and oranges and so on. Taste as you go and do little bits at a time. I made this drink 3 times and it was awesome all three! I only make one drink at a time instead of a batch because of the heat, some people like more heat than others.

                I created a simple syrup made from stevia. I wanted something that my carb conscious friends and family could enjoy. It seems time consuming but it literally took me 3 minutes. Easy right?! You can totally use agave instead if you would like, it just may change the sweetness since it is a lot sweeter so use a little less and taste test before adding more.
