Tequila — either you love it or you hate it (thanks, college). If you're in the first group, you probably like to enjoy it in the afternoon on its own or mixed in a classic cocktail [1], but let us tell you about an even better way to sip on your favorite spirit this season: adding a little spice.
A splash of jalapeño limeade [2] or touch of habanero gives tequila a refreshing kick you'll soon be raving about. It's the perfect mix of sweet and spicy — who wouldn't love that. The recipes ahead will show you what we mean so, start taking notes.
