1
Prepare the Jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat). Muddle half of the jalapeño in the bottom of a shaker to release its flavor.
2
Mix the Margarita
In the shaker with the muddled jalapeño, add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Prepare the Glass
Rub the rim of a chilled glass with the lime wedge and dip it in salt to coat the rim.
5
Strain and Garnish
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with the remaining half of the jalapeño and an additional lime wedge if desired.
