Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeño

    Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds if you prefer less heat. You can also slice it into rings for easier infusion.

  2. 2

    Infuse the Tequila

    In a shaker, combine the sliced jalapeño with the Auza Blue Tequila. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavors. The longer it sits, the spicier the drink will be.

Mixing the Margarita

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    After the tequila has infused, add the fresh lime juice and agave syrup into the shaker with the jalapeño-infused tequila.

  2. 4

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Glass

    Rub the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip it into kosher salt to coat the rim.

  2. 6

    Strain and Serve
