2 ounces Triple Sec
4 ounces fresh lemon juice
1 ounce simple syrup (1/2 water, 1/2 sugar heated until it becomes a syrup)
3 cups ice
2 Tequila infused Jalapeño coins (the coins that soaked in the tequila), for garnish
lemon juice (for rimming the glass)
course salt (for rimming the glass)
Rim 2 margarita glasses by coating the rim in lemon juice and then spinning the glass in a plate of course salt. Drop Tequila infused Jalapeno coins into the glasses for garnish.
In a blender combine tequila, triple sec, lemon juice, simple syrup and ice. Blend until mixture is the consistency you desire. I like mine like an Icee, so we blend for a minute or so. Pour and serve immediately.
To make Jalapeño infused Tequila: slice 1 jalapeño into coins and place into a glass or jar. Add 4 ounces Jose Cuervo Gold tequila. Seal and set aside for 4 to 24 hours. We like it hot so we infused for 29 hours and it was great. Not too hot, but definitely knew it was jalapeño Tequila. To tone down the heat: infuse for less time. A 2 hour infusion will slightly 'perfume' the tequila.
