![]() ![]() If you want just a hint of jalapeno, infuse for a day. I am also in love with the fact that you can make these as spicy, or not spicy, as you like. I am now officially in love with infusing alcohol…it’s so simple, but adds so much flavor. This would be a good option for Super Bowl Sunday! Make a pitcher, but don’t fill with ice, store in the fridge, and let people pour their own margaritas! ![]() It’s great for one or two, but also for a crowd. Now just roll or twist the rim in salt! Fill with ice and pour in the jalapeno margarita! Sometimes, if I’m thinking ahead, I like to chill my glasses in the freezer for a few minutes, so the margarita is extra cold!Įasy peasy. Take an empty glass and rub the rim with a lime. Now, strain the cocktail into a glass that’s been filled with ice, or if you like pulp, don’t strain it and just pour everything in! If you want to rim the glass with salt (is it even an option not to?!), place salt onto a plate and set aside. ![]() Give it a good shake, or learn a cool bar trick, and then come over and teach me. Take some pineapple chunks and muddle them in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.Īfter you’ve muddled your pineapple chunks, fill the shaker 1/4 of the way up with ice and pour in freshly squeezed lime juice, lemon juice, pineapple juice – from the can – triple sec, and of course, your jalapeno infused tequila. Now that you have some amazing jalapeno infused tequila, let’s make a really awesome jalapeno margarita. Who knew that infusing tequila would be that easy? I was always under the impression that it would be really complicated and take forever! Now we all know how easy it is. Once the tequila has reached the desired spice level, strain the mixture, discard the jalapenos, and place the tequila back into the mason jars, or whatever bottle you want to store the tequila in. The choice, however, is yours! The longer the tequila and jalapenos sit, the spicier it will be. I infused the tequila for 2 days, before I thought it was spicy enough, but we, um, taste tested after 24 hours. Set in a cool, dark place (like your pantry) for at least one day, but up to a week. Screw the lid(s) on and shake for thirty seconds. Pour an entire bottle of tequila on top of the jalapenos. Slice three whole jalapenos and place in the bottom of a jar(s) – I used two large mason jars. Start by infusing your tequila with jalapenos. Today, I am obviously extra excited about this recipe, because it takes two of my very favorite things and mashes them into one yummy, yummy cocktail called the Jalapeno Margarita! Just type “jalapeno” in the search bar on the right to see for yourself □ How many recipes on this food blog have jalapeno in them? Ummm too many to count I think. The only thing that makes a margarita better is when the tequila has been infused with jalapenos. Why, oh, why do I love margaritas so much? Is it the lip puckering limey flavor? Is it the salt covered rim? Or maybe it’s the fun glasses that they’re served in? Or maaaaybe…it’s the tequila. ![]() I loved it so much that, naturally, I just had to recreate it at home □ It’s a jalapeno margarita that has jalapeno infused tequila, a special blend of citrus juices, a splash of triple sec, and pineapple! I love it, because margaritas are my favorite, obviously, and it makes your lips all tingling from the spicy tequila. We haven’t found one as good as Plaza Garibaldi, BUT I have a new favorite margarita by another Mexican restaurant in Seattle. By that, I mean, we’ll try a different Mexican restaurant. What can I say? We’re creatures of habit!Īlthough we love our routine, every once and a while, we’ll mix it up a bit. Probably, because Trevor and I, yes, once again, are celebrating with our Friday Night – Mexican Night. That song is going to be stuck in your head all day long now…I’m sorry, but I’m just so happy that it’s Friday! I’m always happy for Friday, just like I’m sure the rest of the world is, but I don’t know, I just feel extra happy today. ![]()
