How to Make the Perfect Spicy Jalapeño Margarita

If you love a little heat with your tequila, the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita is your go-to cocktail. This fiery twist on the classic margarita brings together the smooth taste of Casa Loco Blanco or Reposado Tequila, fresh lime juice, and the bold kick of jalapeño. Balanced with a salted rim and a hint of sweetness from triple sec, this cocktail is both refreshing and bold—perfect for those who like a little spice in their sip!

Spicy Jalapeño Margarita Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Casa Loco Tequila (Blanco or Reposado)
• 1 oz Fresh lime juice
• 1 oz Triple sec
• 1-2 Jalapeño slices
• Salt (for the rim)
• Ice

Instructions:

• Prepare the Glass: Rim a rocks glass or margarita glass with lime juice, then dip it into coarse salt for that classic margarita touch. Set aside.
• Muddle for Spice: In a shaker, muddle 1-2 jalapeño slices with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. The more you muddle, the spicier your margarita!
• Shake It Up: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously to chill and infuse the flavors.
• Strain & Serve: Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass over fresh ice.
• Garnish & Enjoy: Add a jalapeño slice on top for an extra pop of heat and a stunning presentation.

Why This Margarita Stands Out

✔ Fresh & Spicy – The combination of citrus and jalapeño creates a refreshing yet bold kick.
✔ Balanced Flavor – The smoothness of Casa Loco Blanco or Reposado Tequila blends perfectly with the tang of lime and sweetness of triple sec.
✔ Customizable Heat – Want it extra spicy? Add more jalapeño or let it infuse longer before straining!
