A refreshing and spicy twist on the classic margarita, the Cilantro Jalapeno Margarita balances the heat of jalapeno with the freshness of cilantro, creating a flavorful and vibrant cocktail perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients: 2 oz tequila. 1 oz triple sec. 1 oz fresh lime juice. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves. 1/2 jalapeno pepper, sliced seeds removed for less heat. 1/2 oz agave syrup. Ice cubes.

Instructions: In a cocktail shaker, muddle cilantro leaves and jalapeno slices. Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave syrup to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice cubes. Shake vigorously until well-chilled. Strain the mixture into a salt-rimmed glass filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro or a jalapeno slice, if desired.
