Instructions

  1. Add the spicy chili peppers to a shaker and muddle slightly if desired.
  2. Add the tequila, lime juice, agave nectar and several cubes of ice. Shake well. Give it a good 30 seconds of shaking to really infuse the tequila.
  3. Rub a lime wedge around the top of your margarita glass. Pour the salt and tajin seasoning onto a small plate, then dip the glass into it to coat the rim. The lime juice will help the salt-tajin mixture stick. 
  4. Strain the liquid into the margarita glass.
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge and extra jalapeno slices, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Heat Factor: Medium. You'll get a good spice level with the jalapeno peppers. Try it with a habanero for an extra spicy margarita!
