Best Spicy Jalapeno Margarita

(1 1/2 ounces) tequila blanco or reposado*

(1 ounce) Cointreau

(3/4 ounce) fresh lime juice

jalapeño pepper

salt

For the garnish: Lime wedge, more jalapeño slices

Slice the jalapeño pepper into 3 to 4 thin slices. If you prefer a more subtle heat, remove the seeds.* (Wash your hands well afterward.)

Cut a notch in a lime wedge, then run the lime around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of flaky sea salt (or for a festive look, use our Margarita Salt).

Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with 4 ice cubes and shake until cold. (At this point you can take a taste and adjust the spice level if you&#8217;d like.)

Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and serve.

From your excellent spicy margarita recipe: "Remember that jalapeno peppers can vary in spice level. So air [sic] on the conservative side..."  Err, not "air"; just sayin'. :)

These are so GOOD! I couldn't only have one. The chilli just makes them so extra special.

This margarita was spot on -- just what I needed! Spicy, yet tart, and just enough sweetness.
