I’ve had a few spicy cocktails this summer and have been wanting to experiment with my own so I don’t have to go out to dinner just to have one. We have a wonderful bounty of jalapeños this year in our garden so I decided to experiment with my own Jalapeño Margaritas. This recipe is a perfect blend of sweet, salt and spice. If you like jalapeños you will not be disappointed.
Slice the jalapeño and divide between two glasses. If you want salt, make sure that you salt the glasses first.
Pour a small amount of tequila in both glasses and muddle.
Once jalapeño is fairly well crushed, add ice and desired amount of tequila
Add two teaspoons Minute Maid frozen concentrate (or whatever brand you prefer) to each glass and then top with sparkling water. This time I did not have the limeade on hand but had some pink lemonade so I used that instead (it was surprisingly tasty!)
Stir and enjoy!!!
Jalapeño Margaritas
Serves 2
1 Jalapeño
Tequila to taste
8 ice cubes
4 tsp minute maid concentrate, divided (Limeade preferably)
Sparkling water
Margarita salt for rim (optional of course)
2 straws (highly recommended if you’re having more than one – your lips may burn off even tho the drink isn’t that spicy)
Salt rims of glasses. Slice jalapeño and divide between both glasses with a small amount of tequila and muddle. Add ice and desired amount of tequila. Two teaspons of frozen juice concentrate per glass and top with sparkling water. Stir and serve. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Cheers!!
