BURNIN' BEAK BURNIN' RITAS

The margarita, a classic cocktail consisting of tequila, triple sec and lime juice often served with salt on the rim, is a staple in most Mexican food restaurants. This variation adds some sweet, tangy heat to the drink making it even more enticing.

Which Burnin' Beak Pepper Jelly to choose for this recipe depends on how spicy you want your cocktail. Mild, Hot or Super Hot, this one will have you doing the cha cha!

Beware: these are so delicious they border on addictive.
