Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Jalapeño

    Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds for a milder flavor. If you want a spicier margarita, leave the seeds in.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and the prepared jalapeño.
