1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder infusion or leave them in for more heat.
2
Infuse the Tequila
Place the cut jalapeños into a clean glass jar and pour the tequila over them. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 3 days to infuse. Taste daily for desired spiciness.
3
Strain the Infused Tequila
After 3 days, strain the tequila through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the jalapeños. Store the infused tequila in a clean bottle.

4
Prepare the Glass
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita glass. Dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly.
5
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 120 ml of the jalapeño-infused tequila, 120 ml of fresh lime juice, and 60 ml of agave syrup.
6
Shake and Chill
Add 2 cups of ice to the shaker. Seal it and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
7
Serve the Margarita
Strain the cocktail into the prepared margarita glass filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedges.
