I love Margaritas, especially when they have a little spice. A while back I fermented a huge overload of habaneros from my garden, and I saved the brine after they were done, thinking I would use it again for another batch of fermented veggies. Instead, I ended up freezing it into dice-sized ice cubes and using it as an additive to my margaritas, and it was fantastic. Highly recommended to try. Also, with some of the other habanero abundance, I made habanero salt which was great for the glass rims! Making fermented peppers is super easy, quick, and no special equipment is needed. There are many you-tubes about it so if you are a spicy margarita lover, I strongly suggest you try it!
