I have been infusing tequila for years with anything from jalapenos to blueberries. I like to use a good brand of tequila but it is not necessary since this tequila is not meant to be served in shots but in drinks, such as margaritas.
Ingredients
- ½ cup ice cubes, or as needed
- 3 ounces jalapeno-infused tequila
- 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- kosher salt
- 1 wedge lime
Directions
Step 1
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled.
Step 2
Place kosher salt on a plate. Run lime wedge around edge of glass and dip into kosher salt. Strain margarita into the glass.
Cook’s Notes:
To make jalapeno-infused tequila, cut 3 jalapenos into strips, keeping the seeds. Add jalapenos and seeds to a 750 ml bottle of white tequila (such as Patron(R)). Allow jalapenos to infuse tequila at room temperature for a minimum of 16 hours. Strain tequila with a fine mesh strainer into another container. You can pour the infused tequila back into the bottle afterwards. If you deseed the jalapenos it will produce a less spicy tequila but it will still be flavored by the jalapenos.
