Strawberry Jalapeno Margarita Recipe
Description
This cocktail combines fresh strawberries blended with silver tequila, producing a smooth fruity base. The mixture is strained to remove seeds for a clean texture. Lime juice and simple syrup add citrus brightness and sweetness, respectively. Fresh jalapeño pepper, including seeds, infuses the drink with gentle heat that complements the strawberry flavor. The ingredients are shaken vigorously with ice before serving chilled, optionally using a sugar rim for added sweetness.
The result is a balanced margarita with fresh fruit presence mellowed by moderate spice. It suits summertime gatherings or any occasion seeking a vibrant cocktail with a touch of heat.
For storage, the mixed cocktail can be kept refrigerated up to 24 hours, though it is best enjoyed fresh. When stored, stirring or shaking again before serving will help blend flavors that may settle.
Ingredients
- 4 oz tequila silver
- 1 cup strawberry tops removed, fresh
- 1/2 jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 Tbsp simple syrup
- ice
- sugar optional rim dressing
Instructions
- In a small blender, combine the strawberries and tequila, and blend until smooth.
- Next, strain the strawberry-tequila mixture into a cocktail shaker over ice. This helps remove the strawberry seeds from your beverage.
- Then, add the lime juice, simple syrup, and jalapeño pepper into the cocktail shaker.
- Shake vigorously for 20 seconds.
- Finally, pour your Strawberry Jalapeño Margaritas into your favorite cocktail glass over ice and enjoy!
Notes
- Use the bottom half of the jalapeño, seeds included, for the shaker to impart mild heat.
- Consume the margarita fresh for best flavor, but it can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- If stored, stir or shake the mixture again before serving to redistribute flavors.
