Cilantro Jalapeno Margarita!

Many margs are far too sweet with their added artificial lime flavoring or too much fake sugar. A good margarita should be light, refreshing and fresh. This recipe not only gives homage to an authentic margarita but it has the perfect hint of cilantro and jalapeño for a fresh and spicy kick.

1 Drink:

1. • 1 lime wedge
   • 1 to 3 thin slices jalapeño (stemmed, seeded, sliced lengthwise)- grown in your AeroGarden
   • 2 cilantro sprigs - Grown in your AeroGarden
   • 1 1/2 oz. blanco tequila
   • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
   • 1 oz. Countreau
   • 1/2 oz. agave syrup or simple syrup (Make your simple syrup with some sliced jalapeño for an added kick and flavor)
   • Ice cubes

PREPARATION

1. Muddle the jalapeño and one of the cilantro sprigs in a glass. Add the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, agave, and ice. Cover and shake.
2. Run the lime wedge around the edge of the rim and dip in salt (or spicy salt.)
3. Pour and enjoy!
