1
Rim the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate of salt to coat the rim evenly.
2
Muddle Jalapeño
In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced jalapeño. Muddle it gently to release the oils and flavor, but be careful not to pulverize it too much.

3
Combine Ingredients
To the shaker with the muddled jalapeño, add the tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec, and agave syrup.
4
Shake Well
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine all the ingredients.

5
Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. You can double strain if you want to remove any jalapeño bits.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Margarita!
