HEALTH & BENEFITS

While cocktails are not typically known for their health benefits, this Jalapeno Passion Margarita does have some redeeming qualities.
Passion fruit is a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, antioxidants, and some iron and potassium.
Jalapenos contain capsaicin, which has been linked to a variety of health benefits including pain relief, improved digestion, and reduced inflammation.
However, this cocktail should still be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
