Hi, everyone! It’s time for another installment in our monthly budget-friendly recipes series, hosted by our friend Marty at A Stroll Thru Life. My offering this week is my Jalapeño Margarita recipe.
These are delicious but super-strong–so fair warning! Although you’ll want to use high-quality tequila, the way I see it, you’ll only need one of these, so that makes them a budget cocktail. 😉
You can also adjust your level of spice up or down based on your preferences.
Here’s the recipe; it makes two strong and spicy cocktails:
Jalapeño Margarita Recipe
These are spicy hot–and strong!
Ingredients
- 4 oz tequila
- 2 oz triple sec
- 1.5 T agave nectar (you can also substitute simple syrup)
- 2 limes, juiced plus additional wedges for garnish
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper sliced and seeded
- kosher or sea salt
- ice
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients except salt in a shaker and shake well to combine.
-
While drink is resting, dip the rims of two glasses in water and then salt.
-
Strain into glasses and serve with lime wedges.
Be sure to check out the rest of this week’s recipes below. I think our margaritas would go perfectly with Our Southern Home’s steak tacos, Bloom in Black’s tofu tacos, and This is Our Bliss’s Mexican coleslaw, don’t you?
