I had no idea such a thing existed, but I’m kind of excited. Not so much for me, but because today also happens to be Stephen’s birthday. And since he loves margaritas there was no way I was going to miss out on a chance to make him a special margarita to celebrate.  Enter the Pepper Jelly Margarita.

 This tastes very similar to a classic margarita but the pepper jelly adds just a hint of heat and a lot of fun color to brighten up a cold winter day.  It’s easy to make and delicious to drink- give it a try and celebrate National Margarita Day today!
