- Ice cubes
- Salt for the rim optional
Choose quality ingredients to make the most of your margarita! Good tequila and fresh lime juice are key. Feel free to adjust jalapeno slices for the spice level you prefer. 🌶️
Instructions
- Start by rimming your glass with salt, if desired.
- Next, drop the jalapeno slices into your shaker and muddle them until they’re crushed.
- Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar to the shaker.
- Fill with ice and shake well for about 20 seconds.
- This blends everything together and chills the drink.
- Once mixed, strain into your glass over fresh ice.
Garnish with an extra jalapeno slice if you’re daring. Enjoy your spicy margarita! 😊
Notes
Adjust the spice by using more or fewer jalapeno slices. If you like extra heat, leave some seeds in when muddling. If you prefer a milder drink, remove seeds entirely.
For a different twist, try adding a splash of fresh orange juice for extra flavor and sweetness.
