Summer just got hotter…

I first had a chili margarita in Hawaii, and it was the best margarita I had ever had. My cousin and I recreated it at home, and it is GOOD. The jalapeño is optional, but it is absolutely worth it. If the tequila wasn’t enough, the chili adds an extra feel-good kick going down. You have to try it.

Spicy margs just hit different.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 1 drink

Ingredients:

• 1 shot tequila
• 1 shot orange liquor
• 1-2 shots fresh-squeezed lime juice (to taste)
• 1-3 slices of jalapeño pepper
• 3-5 ice cubes
• 1 tbs. salt

Recipe

Assembly:

1. Add tequila, orange liquor, lime juice, and ice to a shaker and shake! À la James Bond, we like it “shaken, not stirred.”
2. To create the salty edge on your glass, wet the lip of your glass with lime juice and twist over a plate of salt.
3. Drop in a few slices of jalapeño (start with one and increase to taste!). I promise it’s worth it.
