1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and then dip it into a plate of salt to coat the edge.
2
Muddle Jalapeños
In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced fresh jalapeño. Using a muddler, gently press down to release the juices and flavor from the jalapeño. Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your spice preference.
3
Add Liquids
Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup to the cocktail shaker with the muddled jalapeño.
4
Add Ice and Shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine all ingredients and chill the mixture.
5
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Make sure to strain out the jalapeño pieces for a smoother drink.

6
Add Garnishes
Garnish your margarita with a lime wheel and a slice of jalapeño on top for an extra kick and visual appeal.
