Things are really heating up over here at Fun Craft Cocktails with the Spicy Strawberry Margarita! I’m using Fiero Habanero Tequila for this cocktail which is naturally infused with vine-ripened habanero peppers for a spicy kick. This fiery, additive free tequila is balanced with the sweet taste of strawberry, bright flavors of orange and lime and the syrupy goodness of agave for a delightful cocktail experience. Cheers!
