1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by rimming your glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into coarse sea salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Muddle the Jalapeño
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh jalapeño slices. Use a muddler to gently press and muddle the jalapeño to release its flavors. Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your preferred spice level.
3
Mix the Cocktail
Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup to the shaker with the muddled jalapeño. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
4
Shake It Up
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to thoroughly mix the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
5
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Make sure to strain out the jalapeño pieces, unless you prefer a spicier drink with bits in it.
6
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge and a slice of jalapeño on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy margarita!
