Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Chris' favorite Margarita

We like margaritas. One of our absolute favorites is from one of our favorite restaurants here in Scottsdale, SOL Cocina. You might think it's a little strange to put jalapenos in a margarita, but trust us, it's awesome. So awesome, in fact, that we had to do some digging around so that we could make these at home.
