The saying: “Everything’s bigger in Texas,” always makes me giggle. When it comes to this Texas Margarita though, that saying reins true. Not only is it large and in charge, it is beyond delicious and an amazing twist on a traditional margarita.
There is nothing wrong with a delicious cocktail every once in a while, and these are perfect for just about any occasion. We love the little spicy kick from the jalapenos. They just add a delicious depth of flavor that will surprise and please your taste buds.
We love the little fruity kick you get from the cranberry juice and raspberry liqueur. It pairs so well with the spicy kick from the jalapenos. You can of course, choose to omit the jalapenos, but I wouldn’t recommend it. They are just an amazing addition to this drink.
So, if you are planning on having a fun get together, or simply want to enjoy a drink after a long day. This cocktail is for you. It will wake up your taste buds and leave you feeling refreshed.
