This feisty concoction is sure to fire up your weekend! Habanero infused tequila is what gives this classic a kick. If your taste buds can’t handle the heat then you could still follow this recipe for fresh margaritas that are sure to please.
Step 1: Infuse the tequila (Do this one week ahead)
1 bottle of 100% pure agave silver Tequila
4-5 habanero peppers
Cut off the tops of each pepper and remove the seeds.
Stuff them inside the bottle and let them hang out for about one week.
It’s that easy.
Step 2: Make your Margarita
2oz habenero tequila
3oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1oz fresh squeezed orange juice
2oz simple syurp
To rim the glass:
Equal parts salt & sugar mixed with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Using fresh squeezed lime and orange juice is essential to making a good margarita! Forget anything you’ve ever heard about sweet and sour mix- that stuff is crap! Only fresh limes and oranges should ever be used!
Pour all ingredients in to a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously to mix and chill.
Run a lime wedge along the rim of your glass to wet, then roll the rim in the salt, sugar, cayenne mix.
Pour the margarita in the rimed glass, garnish with a lime wedge if you wish, and enjoy!
