Spicy Jalapeño Margaritas for a Crowd

Ashley Manila

This spicy margarita recipe is so easy and incredibly refreshing! Made with freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice, jalapeño simple syrup, and blanco tequila. These are heaven in a margarita glass! I love to serve them in a rocks glass with extra jalapeño slices on top!

Ingredients

1 cup (199g) granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 cups (340ml) water
2 jalapeño peppers cut into slices
2 2-inch long strips of lime peel
2 cups (454ml) blanco tequila
2 cups (454ml) fresh lime juice
1 and 1/4 cups (294ml) orange liqueur
1 Tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
lime wedges for serving
jalapeño slices for garnish
ice for serving

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, jalapeño, and lime peel. Bring to a rolling simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Then reduce to medium-low and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Once cool, strain syrup into a large measuring cup, through a fine mesh strainer. Discard jalapeño peppers and lime peel. Set syrup aside until needed.
In a large pitcher combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur. Then pour in the simple syrup and stir well to combined. Add a few slices of jalapeño into the pitcher if desired.
To salt the rim, combine the salt and chili powder in a shallow dish. Run the edge of a lime around a glass, then dip the glass into the chili salt combination. Repeat with all glasses.
Fill glasses with ice, then pour margarita mix on top. Garish with a lime wedge and a few jalapeño slices, and serve at once!
