"Jalapeño Business "

This spicy white sangria recipe has a bit of a kick from the jalapeno pepper, which pairs well with the citrus flavours and tequila. However, feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking. Depending on your heat tolerance, you can add more or less jalapeno or swap out the citrus fruits for your favourites.

Ingredients:

1 bottle of dry white wine

1/2 cup of silver tequila

1/4 cup of triple sec or other orange liqueur

1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice

1 sliced jalapeno pepper (remove seed and ribs for less spice)

1 sliced lime

1 sliced lemon

1 sliced orange

1 cup of club soda

2 tablespoons of agave nectar

Fresh cilantro
