Notes
How to Make a Pitcher:
Use 3 ¾ cups strawberries (or 1 ½ cups strawberry juice), 1 sliced jalapeno, ⅔ cup agave nectar, 2 ½ cup tequila, ½ cup lime juice. Muddle the jalapeno, strawberries, and lime juice. Strain the jalapeno-strawberry mixture into a pitcher along with the rest of the ingredients. Stir and serve into prepared glasses with ice. However, for a party, I highly suggest using 1 ½ cup strawberry juice instead of fresh strawberries as that is easier. Muddle the jalapeno with the lime juice. Strain the jalapeno mixture into a pitcher. Pour in the remaining ingredients. Stir right before serving. Taste for good measure.Nutrition
