About The Spiced Margarita Cocktail
Joan Villanueva, the beverage curator at BO-beau kitchen + caché in San Diego, sees a lot of application for amaretto with bold and spicy flavors like mezcal, tequila and rye. In this Margarita version, amaretto stands in for orange liqueur, and muddled jalapeño slices lend a touch of lip-tingling heat.
This recipe originally appeared as part of “What the #$@! Do I Do with This? Amaretto: What It Is and How to Use It.”
