Total Time: 15

Serves 4

This jalapeño margarita is my favorite summer cocktail. It's spicy, tart, refreshing, and so simple to make. Enjoy with tortilla chips, salsa, and/or guacamole.

Ingredients

¼ jalapeño pepper, sliced, plus more slices for garnish
1 ounce blanco tequila
1 ounce orange liqueur, like Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or triple sec
1 ounce fresh lime juice, plus a lime wedge for the glass rim
½ ounce agave nectar, simple syrup, or freshly squeezed orange juice, plus more to taste
Ice
Tajín or kosher salt, optional, for the glass rim

Instructions

Prep the rim of the glass (optional): Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass. Fill a small plate with Tajín or kosher salt. Dip the glass into the Tajín or salt to coat the rim. Fill with ice.
Muddle the jalapeño in a cocktail shaker.
Add the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and agave nectar and fill the cocktail shaker with ice. Cover and shake until chilled.
Strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with jalapeño slices and serve.
