- 1 Lime Wedge
- 1/4 cup Tequila Blanco (or Silver tequila (2 ounces))
- 1 tablespoon Orange Juice ((1/2 ounces))
- 3 tablespoons Lime Juice ((1 1/2 ounce))
- 1 teaspoon Agave Syrup
- 3-4 Jalapeno Slices (deseeded, cut into thin slices)
- 2/3 cup Crushed Ice (divided)
- 1 Sea Salt
- 1 Lime Wedge
- 3-4 Jalapeno Slices
Instructions
- 1
Place sea salt into a small shallow plate, wide enough to fit the diameter of your margarita glass. Set aside.
- 2
Rub the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge to wet about 2-3 mm of the rim.
- 3
Dip the rim into salt, moving in a circular motion to stick the salt to the wet part of the rim. Place the prepared glass in the freezer for at least 20 minutes, or fill it with ice to keep it cold.
- 4
In a cocktail shaker, add jalapeno slices with 1/3 cup crushed ice, muddle up with a wooden spoon to release the spiciness from the jalapenos.
- 5
Add tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, agave syrup.
- 6
Close the shaker and shake vigorously for 60 seconds - that's long but worth it!
- 7
Remove the glass from the freezer. Fill it with 1/3 cup crushed ice and strain the cocktail over the glass into the prepared glass.

Enjoy immediately and garnish the glass with additional lime wedges or jalapeno slices.
