Instructions

If you plan to infuse your tequila, chop one of your jalapeños and add it to the bottle for 2 – 7 days and store in the freezer. The longer you infuse it, the spicier it will be. You can also use an already infused tequila. If you don’t want too much spice, just use regular tequila.
Pour the sea salt into a bowl big or plate enough to dip the glasses in. Dip each glass into a plate of honey, maple syrup, OR rim each class with a lime. Then, dip them in the salt.
Wash and slice the oranges, limes, and jalapeños. Juice the oranges and limes into the cocktail shaker. Add most of the jalapeño slices in shaker and muddle. Save a few slices for garnishing if you wish.
Step 4. After muddling, add some ice to the cocktail shaker.
Measure and pour tequila and triple sec in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 20-30 seconds until well combined.
Divide the mixture between four glasses. Then top each glass with the sparkling water.
Garnish with dried oranges, fresh jalapeño, or whatever your heart desires. Drink up!

Notes

The longer you infuse your tequila, the spicier it will be. If you don't like spice, feel free to use regular tequila.
You may also use 6 oz each of orange juice and club soda instead of 12 oz orange sparkling water to tone down your drink.
Do NOT shake the sparkling water in the cocktail shaker. It will explode everywhere.
