About

A margarita recipe with a tasty kick. This Watermelon Infused Tequila Spicy Margarita tastes great and is the kind of tequila recipe that will wow your friends. Give this drink recipe a try! One thing I discovered early on is that the spice from the jalapeno could easily overpower other flavors. Another thing I learned is that when you infuse watermelon into tequila, it is a pretty delicate and subtle flavor. So, other than experimenting with the amount of jalapeno that goes into this spicy margarita, we wanted to make sure our watermelon-infused tequila was on point. Getting balance is key in this recipe.
