Description
Ok, i know margarita's are not a true cajun specialty. But being a fan of margaritas, this just sounds like something too interesting to pass up! From tideandthyme.com, supposedly from the hbo series true blood set in louisiana. If using the chile-infused tequila, note the time requirements for steeping and plan ahead. The sweet & sour of the margarita temper the spiciness.
