Time P1DT10m

Yield 6 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 small jalapeno pepper (or half a large jalapeno)
1 1/2 cups silver tequila, such as Avion
1 cup Triple Sec
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (8 limes)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons honey
Pinch of kosher salt
Ice

Steps:

Pierce the jalapeno pepper in 8 to 10 places with the tip of a sharp paring knife and cut it in half lengthwise, leaving the seeds and the ribs. Place the pepper in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, pour in the tequila, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
Discard the jalapeno and pour the tequila into a pitcher through a sieve to remove the seeds. Add the Triple Sec, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, and salt and stir. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
When ready to serve, fill 6 margarita glasses with ice and pour over the margarita mixture; or fill a cocktail shaker with ice and some of the mixture, shake vigorously for 30 seconds, and pour into glasses. Serve ice cold.

Tips:

Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños have a brighter flavor and more heat than dried or canned jalapeños.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños: This will help to reduce the heat of the margaritas.
Use a good quality tequila: A good quality tequila will make a big difference in the flavor of the margaritas.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice has a brighter flavor than bottled lime juice.
Use a good quality orange liqueur: A good quality orange liqueur will add a nice sweetness and complexity to the margaritas.
Rim the glasses with salt: This is a classic way to serve margaritas and it adds a nice salty flavor to the drink.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño margaritas are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you are looking for a fun and flavorful cocktail, give jalapeño margaritas a try!
