While jalapeños are commonly associated with food, particularly Mexican cuisine, we like to get creative and add them to cocktails! The spiciness of the jalapeño provides a fiery kick that adds depth of flavor as well as a tingle on the tongue. The Sol Spicy Margarita uses jalapeno-infused tequila, which you can easily make yourself! You’ll find both the cocktail and infused tequila recipes below. We recommend using a blanco tequila for the base.

Sol Spicy Margarita

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz jalapeno infused tequila
• 3 oz Sol Squeeze mixer of your choice 
• Sugar or salt for rim

Instructions:

1. Prep your glass by running a juicy lime wedge around its edge, then dip in sugar or salt.
2. Combine 3 oz of Sol Squeeze mixer with 1.5 oz of infused tequila and plenty of ice.
3. Give your margarita a heavy shake to make it ice cold and frothy.
4. Pour over ice and enjoy!
