The first step toward a healthier cocktail is to step away from the bar, ditch the pre-mixed juices, and head to the kitchen. Though it may seem less convenient than happy hour at your favorite bar, a DIY margarita is way more delicious. This marg turns up the heat with jalapeño-infused tequila, which is great for pairing with similarly flavored foods—and even just chips and salsa.
