1
Prepare the Glass
If desired, rim the glass with coarse sea salt by running a lime wedge around the rim and then dipping it into a plate of sea salt. Set the glass aside.
2
Make the Jalapeño Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water with sliced red jalapeños. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Allow to cool before using.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Espolón Blanco tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and red jalapeño syrup.
4
Shake Well
Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. You may serve it neat or over ice based on preference.

6
Add Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wheel and slices of fresh red jalapeño on top. Enjoy your Fuego Margarita!
