Step 1

Place sugar and salt on a small plate. Wet the lip of 2 glasses with a wedge of lime and dip into the sugar and salt. Fill each glass to the top with ice and set off to the side.

Step 2

Add desired jalapeños into a cocktail shaker and muddle. ( I prefer 1/2 a jalapeno) The more jalapeños the spicier! If you don’t have a muddler, use the blunt end of a wooden spoon.

Step 3

Next pour in 1/2 cup (or 4 ounces) both fresh squeezed lime juice and tequila blanco.

Step 4

Then pour in 2 ounces vanilla syrup and 1 ounce cointreau. Add in a few handfuls of ice. Top the shaker with the strainer and cap before shaking well to combine.

Step 5

Pour/strain the margarita among thetwo glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge and jalapeño half or slices.

Step 6

As always, drink responsibly.
