Jalapeno Mint Margarita
A simple, fresh margarita with a spicy note. If you want to tone down the jalapeno flavor, use a good quality tequila blanco and muddle two thin slices of fresh jalapeno with the mint.
Ingredients
- Himalayan pink salt or kosher salt
- 4-5 fresh mint leaves muddled
- 2 lime wedges
- 1/4 cup jalapeno-infused tequila such as Tanteo
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- ice
Instructions
- Put about a tablespoon of salt in a flat dish. Rub the rim of your glass with one lime wedge and dip the rim of the glass in the salt. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, add the mint, tequila, agave nectar and lime juice and a handful of ice. Shake very well to combine.
- Fill your cocktail glass with ice and pour the mixed margarita into the glass. Put the second lime wedge on the edge of the glass.
- Makes 1 single serving
