Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 jalapeno chiles
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespons tequila
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 5 limes), plus extra for rims (optional)
1/4 cup Cointreau or Grand Marnier
3 tablespoons guava juice
Coarse salt or margarita salt

Steps:

  • Place 2 whole jalapenos and the tequila in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 day.
  • Pour the tequila into a pitcher or large punch bowl and add the lime juice, Cointreau or Grand Marnier and the guava juice. Stir to combine and chill in your refrigerator.
  • Place the coarse salt or margarita salt on a flat plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, turn it upside down on to the salt and then twist the glass in the salt to coat the rim.
  • Thinly slice the remaining jalapeno. Using a paring knife, remove the seeds from each slice. Serve the margarita straight up in a martini glass with some jalapenos floating in the glass or slit one side of the jalapeno ring and hang on the side of the glass.
