Spicy Jalapeño Margaritas for a Crowd
Report
This spicy margarita recipe is so easy and incredibly refreshing! Made with freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, jalapeño simple syrup, and blanco tequila. These are heaven in a margarita glass! I love to serve them in a rocks glass with extra jalapeño slices on top!

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, jalapeño, and lime peel. Bring to a rolling simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Then reduce to medium-low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Once cool, strain syrup into a large measuring cup, through a fine mesh strainer. Discard jalapeño peppers and lime peel. Set syrup aside until needed.
- In a large pitcher combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur. Then pour in the simple syrup and stir well to combined. Add a few slices of jalapeño into the pitcher if desired.
- To salt the rim, combine the salt and chili powder in a shallow dish. Run the edge of a lime around a glass, then dip the glass into the chili salt combination. Repeat with all glasses.
- Fill glasses with ice, then pour margarita mix on top. Garish with a lime wedge and a few jalapeño slices, and serve at once!
