Spicy Margarita

Spicy Margarita is a fiery, tropical twist on the classic agave sour that beautifully marries sweet fruit with a creeping, peppery heat. Shaken with muddled jalapeño slices, a rich base of mezcal (preferably Reposado), fresh lime juice, sweet pineapple juice, and rich agave nectar, this invigorating cocktail is strained over fresh ice and finished with an extra jalapeño slice.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ oz Xicaru Silver or Reposado (preferred)

  • ¾ oz agave

  • ¾ oz lime juice

  • ¾ oz pineapple juice

  • 1-2 slices jalapeño, muddled

Instructions:

  • Shake and strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass. Garnish with a jalapeño slice.
