Jalapeno Margarita
Add some heat to your favorite tequila cocktail. This easy Jalapeno Margarita has just the right amount of citrus and spice.
Equipment
- 1 Cocktail Shaker
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Tequila Blanco
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce orange liqueur
- 3 slices jalapeno pepper
Instructions
- Rim the margarita glass with Tajin (or salt, it's personal preference).
- Add jalapeno slices and lime juice to the cocktail shaker. Muddle the pepper to release the oils.
- Add the tequila blanco and Triple Sec.
- Add ice and shake.
- Strain the mixture into the margarita glass, then top with extra jalapeño slices or lime wedges.
Notes
-
- If you like to keep bits of jalapeno slices in your finished drink, muddle them on the bottom of your margarita glass instead of adding them to the cocktail shaker.
- If you like a sweet edge to your jalapeno margarita, add a touch of agave nectar or simple syrup.
- To keep it from being too hot, remove the white ribs from inside the jalapeno and try not to use any seeds.
- Try other peppers (like serrano or habanero) for a slightly different flavor and a little more heat.
