SPICY JALAPENO MARGARITA
This is guaranteed to be a bitter hit than what any lineman is throwing around out there in Arizona. It only take 15 mins to prep and it's worth it!
Ingredients:
- Tequila — Use blanco (silver) tequila for a mild flavor, reposada (rested) for a stronger flavor, and anjeo (aged) for the strongest flavor. Cabo Wabo tequila is a great choice for blanco & reposada.
- Lime Juice
- Orange Juice
- Jalapeño
- Grand Marnier
- Agave
- Salt & Lime Wedge
Start with a mixing glass or small pitcher and pour in your tequila. For this recipe, we suggest 3/4 of a cup. Add your sliced jalapeño next, depending on how spicy you want your margaritas, we think adding ¼ to ½ will be good. Let your mix come up to room temperature (sit about 15 minutes), remember, the longer you let the jalapeños infuse, the spicier it will be.
Now, mixing together the jalapeño-infused tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice and ¼ cup Agave or orange juice.
Make sure you taste it so you can get it just right. The more jalapeño you add, the spicier it will be. If you don't want to add more jalapeño, just try letting it sit a little longer.
Pour, add lime slices and jalapeños for garnish. For a lighter margarita, fill the glasses ½ full and top with sparkling water.
Serve & enjoy!
