Puckered Jalapeno Frozen Margarita
The Puckered Jalapeno Frozen Margarita is spicy hot yet frozen and cooling. The lemon is sour and the sugar is sweet, with a hint of bitterness (perhaps from the Jalapeno) and the salted rim.... that my friends is what we call a perfect cocktail!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Jalapeno infused Cuervo Gold Tequila 'how to' follows
- 2 ounces Triple Sec
- 4 ounces fresh lemon juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup 1/2 water, 1/2 sugar heated until it becomes a syrup
- 3 cups ice
- 2 Tequila infused Jalapeno coins the coins that soaked in the tequila, for garnish
- lemon juice for rimming the glass
- course salt for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Rim 2 margarita glasses by coating the rim in lemon juice and then spinning the glass in a plate of course salt. Drop Tequila infused Jalapeno coins into the glasses for garnish.
- In a blender combine tequila, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup and ice. Blend until mixture is the consistency you desire. I like mine like an Icee, so we blend for a minute or so. Pour and serve immediately.
How make Jalapeno Infused Tequila
- Slice 1 jalapeño into coins and place into a glass or jar. Add 4 ounces Jose Cuervo Gold tequila. Seal and set aside for 4 to 24 hours. We like it hot so we infused for 29 hours and it was great. Not too hot, but definitely knew it was jalapeño Tequila. To tone down the heat: infuse for less time. A 2 hour infusion will slightly 'perfume' the tequila.
