Rim - dip margarita glass in Chamoy then in Tajin to create a spicy rim.I use a wooden cocktail muddler for this but if you don't have one you can use the handle of a wooden spoon! Just make sure you are really breaking up the jalapeño to release all of the flavor. Muddle - muddle the jalapeño well to infuse spice into the alcohol.Liqueur – add tequila, Cointreau and lime juice.Add as much or as little jalapeño as you can handle for your own spice preference. Jalapeño - slice a few pieces of jalapeño and place in the bottom of cocktail shaker.Ice - you'll need ice for the cocktail shaker and the glass!.Chamoy - is a salty, sweet, spicy and tart Mexican condiment that is popular in cocktails.Tajin - this is a popular Mexican spice blend made with a combination of salt, chili peppers, and dehydrated lime.Jalapeños - you can use as much or as little fresh jalapeño as you like.Lime Juice -only the freshly squeezed kind.Cointreau – my favorite orange liqueur.


I love this recipe because it is so fresh and simple with no added syrups or sugar so it's not overly sweet. I've shared other spicy margaritas recipes like my Chili Pomegranate Margarita, Spicy Orange Margarita, and my Spicy Jalapeño Mango Margarita but never the classic Jalapeño Margarita! How is this possible? In the world of margaritas, spicy margaritas made with fresh Jalapeño, reign supreme! Muddled jalapeño peppers add a fresh heat while a Chamoy and Tajin dipped rim adds salty spicy flavor with each sip.Ī spicy cocktail might sound strange if you've never tried one but if you like things on the hotter side, one sip will have you hooked.
