Reviews
Katie, I watch you on the kitchen every weekend. Love your show and. Love this cocktail I always have pineapple juice on hand. I didn’t have fresh cilantro or fresh peppers but I just put a pinch of each and muddled it very good. Love it.
I’ve made these margaritas several times, always get great reviews from everyone. If you don’t like your drink too spicy check how spicy your peppers are before you muddle them into your drink.
