Notes
- Honey can be replaced with stevia or a preferred sweetener to adjust sweetness.
- To make pitcher-sized margaritas, multiply all ingredients by six and mix in a large pitcher with plenty of ice.
- Tajin on the rim adds a tangy, spicy seasoning contrast but can be substituted with coarse sea salt if preferred.
- Adjust jalapeño slices to control the spiciness level.
