Ingredients
- 3 ounces good quality tequila
- 2 ounces triple sec
- 1 lime juiced
- 6-8 jalapeno slices or more if you want it extra hot
- 1 Tablespoon agave nectar
- Margarita salt optional
- limes for salt rim and garnish
Instructions
- Prepare two cocktail glasses by running a lime around the rims and then dipping rim into a margarita salt, set aside.
- In a cocktail mixer, fill halfway with ice and tequila, triple sec, juice from 1 lime, jalapeno slices, and agave nectar.
- Shake for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the outside of the shaker is chilled.
- Strain the drink evenly between the two prepared glasses.
- Top with fresh jalapeno slices and lime.
Notes
- The best tequila to use in a margarita is a clear (or silver) one so pick your favorite! Since there's not a lot of ingredients in the drink a high-quality one is best.
- Skip the bottled lime juice and squeeze a fresh lime, it will make all the difference.
- You can substitute simple syrup to sweeten the drink instead of agave.
