Spicy Jalapeno-Infused Margarita image

I have been infusing tequila for years with anything from jalapenos to blueberries. I like to use a good brand of tequila but it is not necessary since this tequila is not meant to be served in shots but in drinks, such as margaritas.

Tips:

  • Use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor. Look for plump, firm peppers with smooth skin.
  • Wash the jalapeños thoroughly before using them. Remove the stems and seeds to reduce the heat level.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños, as the oils can irritate your skin.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the jalapeños. This will help to prevent the peppers from breaking apart.
  • Toast the jalapeños in a dry skillet before infusing them in the tequila. This will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a glass jar or container to infuse the tequila. This will allow you to see the peppers as they infuse and to easily remove them once they are done.
  • Store the infused tequila in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Once the tequila is infused, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids.
  • Enjoy the infused tequila in margaritas, cocktails, or shots.

Conclusion:

Jalapeño-infused tequila is a delicious and versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for sipping neat, mixing into cocktails, or using in cooking. With its smoky, spicy flavor, jalapeño-infused tequila is sure to add a kick to your next party or gathering.
