Ingredients

  • 1/2 jalapeño
  • 1 1/2 oz tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 1 1/2 oz Cointreau liqueur
  • 1 1/2 oz grapefruit juice ruby red
  • splash lemon lime soda
  • squirt lime juice
  • coarse sea salt
  • lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

  • Rinse cocktail glass and place in the freezer to chill. Add jalapeño to an empty cocktail shaker then ambitiously bruise the flesh of the pepper using a wooden spoon. Leave the muddled jalapeño in the shaker then fill with ice. Add the liquids then cover and shake vigorously.
  • Remove chilled glass from the freezer and salt the rim, if desired. Fill the glass with fresh ice then strain margarita into the glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge or even a small slice of jalapeño. Enjoy!

Notes

For a less spicy version of this drink, wash the seeds from the jalapeno before muddling it in the cocktail shaker!
