Chili Ginger Margarita

Chili Ginger Margarita | Betsylife.com Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, and as a tequila lover, taco enthusiast, and former party girl (sort of), Cinco de Drinko is a holiday near and dear to my heart.

This year I was inspired by a new book from Melissa’s, The Great Pepper Cookbook, and decided to add a little spice to my beverage. Spicy serrano chilies and ginger gave these margaritas some serious zing. The spicy syrup was majorly delicious paired with Zignum Mezcal, but I also splashed some in soda water the next day to add a little interest to my otherwise boring daytime beverage. I’ll save the daytime margarita drinking for the weekend. Ole!
