Servings 2 margaritas

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jalapeño with seeds sliced
  • 6 limes juiced
  • 1/4 orange peel removed
  • 2 teaspoons agave 
  • 2 teaspoons triple sec
  • 6-8 mint leaves
  • 3 oz silver tequila per glass or serving
  • splash of sparkling water optional
  • GARNISH
  • extra lime halves to rim glasses 
  • margarita salt or Tajin seasoning to rim glass Tajín Clásico Seasoning
  • extra mint jalapeño slices, lime slices

Instructions
 

  • COMBINE. Combine jalapeños, lime juice, orange, mint, agave, and triple sec in a pint glass or cocktail shaker and muddle. Make sure to muddle well until you feel the jalapeños breakdown and release their juices. Set aside.
  • RIM. Cut a lime in half and rub around the rim of the glass to distribute the juice. This is what the salt will stick to. Then, dip or roll the edge of each glass in the salt or Tajin seasoning.
  • ASSEMBLE. Split the muddled juice between two glasses, straining the majority of the chunks out while pouring. Then add 3 oz silver tequila, a splash of soda water, and ice to each glass and stir. 
  • GARNISH. Add a slice or two of lime and jalapeño on top. Enjoy!

Notes

FINISH. This is totally optional but I like to add a splash of sparkling water.
