  1. Pour chile lime seasoning onto one plat and Mike's Hot Honey on another. You want to place it in a circle about the size of the top of your margarita glass so you can dip it and pick up the ingredients easily.
  2. Next, press the top of your glass into the honey and then seasoning to season the rim
  3. Dice your jalapeno into small pieces. Then, in a cocktail shaker, add diced jalapeno, the juice of 2 limes, tequila, cointreau, and jalapeno limeade. Shake together.
  4. Add ice to your margarita glasses and pour in the alcohol mixture. Feel free to strain the jalapeno seeds out of the shaker here.
  5. Finally, top each drink with La Croix Lime and garnish with jalapenos, limes, and/or cilantro.
  6. Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

  • For extra spiciness, include jalapeno seeds or muddle the jalapenos before shaking.
  • To infuse tequila with heat, slice jalapenos thinly and refrigerate in tequila for 2 to 3 days before making the cocktail.
  • To reduce spice, omit jalapeno seeds or add more lime sparkling water.
  • Sweeten the margarita more by adding lemonade, agave, or grapefruit juice to taste.
