Notes
If you like your Low-Carb Margarita to be even more spicy, leave the shaken cocktail to stand for up to 5 minutes. This will allow more spice to develop. Alternatively, add an extra jalapeño slice to the cocktail shaker.
Add more or less stevia glycerite to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
