1
Infuse the Tequila
Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Place them into a clean glass jar and pour the tequila over them. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, tasting occasionally until desired spiciness is reached.

2
Prepare the Margarita
Once the tequila is infused, strain out the jalapenos using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a shaker. Add the fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
3
Rim the Glass
On a small plate, pour out the salt. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the salt to coat.
4
Serve
Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of jalapeno or a lime wheel if desired.
