How to Make Strawberry Jalapeño Margaritas

1. Blend It Up

Slice your strawberries in half and toss them into a blender. Squeeze in the juice from both limes and add your jalapeño (seeds in for fire, seeds out for mild heat). Pulse to blend until smooth.

2. Add the Good Stuff

Pour in your Socorro tequila, orange liqueur, and a drizzle of agave nectar. Give it another quick blend—just enough to mix everything into a cocktail-worthy potion.

3. Rim & Ice, Baby

Run a lime wedge around the rim of your cocktail glasses, then dip them into Tajín for that zesty, salty-spicy finish. Fill your glasses with ice.

4. Pour & Fizz

Strain or pour the strawberry-jalapeño mix over ice. For a little extra sparkle, top with a splash of Topo Chico.

5. Sip, Toast, and Enjoy!

Garnish with a strawberry slice, a jalapeño ring, or just go straight in for a sip. Cheers to Galentine’s, girl power, and really, really good margaritas! 💖✨

Make It Your Own!

💡 Want it even spicier? Toss in more jalapeño or add a dash of chili powder.
💡 Prefer it extra sweet? Up the agave or blend in a splash of simple syrup.
💡 Frozen Marg Vibes? Blend everything with ice instead of serving it over the rocks.
