Recipe: Jalapeño Mint Margarita with Karen Emile
It’s the peak of summer, and there’s no better way to beat the heat than with a refreshing cocktail served up in the new Striped Seagrass Collection with Shoppe Ambassador Karen Emile! This one is a kicker – made with fresh lime and jalapeño and then topped with mint leaves for some extra freshness.
This recipe was formulated for one serving in the Striped Seagrass Glassware Small Tumbler, but you can also prepare in bulk and serve straight out of the pitcher for your next summer soiree!
Cheers!
