1
Infuse the Tequila
In a clean glass jar, add the whole jalapeños (sliced or whole depending on your spice preference) to the tequila. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours. For a stronger infusion, let it sit for up to a week, tasting occasionally.

2
Make the Sour Mix
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Stir well until fully blended. Adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 part infused tequila, 1 part house-made sour, and 1 part fresh pineapple juice. Fill the shaker with ice.
4
Shake
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

5
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass and dip it into coarse salt to coat the rim.
6
Strain and Garnish
Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with additional lime wedges and jalapeño slices.
