Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounce(s) jalapeño-infused silver tequila (*see recipe below)
3 ounce(s) fresh-squeezed blood orange juice
1 ounce(s) fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 ounce(s) cointreau
FOR JALAPEñO INFUSION:
1/2 cup(s) tequila
1 - fresh jalapeno pepper

Steps:

  • *To make jalapeno infusion: Slice up a fresh jalapeño pepper and allow it to steep in 1/2 cup of tequila for 2 hours. Taste to check the heat level, and continue to steep if a stronger infusion is desired (I left the slices in for a full 4 hours). Once infusing process is complete, remove the slices by pouring the mixture through a fine-meshed strainer.]
  • TO MAKE DRINKS: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass. Optional garnish: salt the rim of the glass.
  • To serve as a pitcher drink: Multiply the ingredients by the number of guests. Combine in a pitcher and chill until ready to serve. Pour over ice or shake cocktails individually.
