It's Friday! Hand Me a Drink.
By:
Frank Samperi

The weekend is here and a great way to begin unwinding is with a flavorful and refreshing cocktail. Darryl Robinson from Drink Up shared a secret for easily adding some punch to a margarita–with jalapeno-flavored tequila.
Shake all the ingredients together in a cocktail shaker with ice, serve in a rocks glass, and garnish with a slice of lime.
Shake one up for yourself and some friends, and let us know what you think.
And don't miss Darryl's recipes for classic martinis, vodka infusions, and a molecular screwdriver this Sunday evening at 10:30pm ET on Cooking Channel.
