Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 large green jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 4 oz silver tequila
  • 4 tbsp agave or honey
  • 2 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 lime wedges for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a pitcher, muddle the seeded jalapeño slices.
  2. Add tequila and agave and stir to combine.
  3. Pour the sea salt on a bottom of a small plate. Rim the glass with a lime wedge and then dip the glass into the salt, twisting the glass to coat the rim generously with salt.
  4. Fill the glasses with ice, pour the tequila jalapeño mix evenly between the two glasses.
  5. Top with fresh lime juice. 

Notes

  • For a less strong margarita add a few tablespoons of sparkling soda
  • For a more sweet version add a tablespoon of orange juice
  • For more spice add additional slices of jalapeño with seeds to the drink
  • Use sugar instead of sea salt for a sweeter version of the cocktail.
