I was browsing some recipes the other day and came across this one for Haberno Margarita’s. They instantly sparked my interest I have a deep love for all things margarita. I had to try these, but using our garden jalapenos instead.
The flavor of the margarita’s were outstanding, a slight heat was present, but not overpowering, just makes you go hmmm? What’s that, and really, really like it. It would make a great conversation piece as everyone wonders what’s that special ingredient is in the margaritas.
They are very simple to make and of course I have pictures.
First off you have to infuse the tequila, do this about 1 week ahead of time.
1 bottle of 100% pure agave silver Tequila
4-5 Jalapeno peppers
Cut off the tops of each pepper, slice in half and remove the seeds.
Stuff them inside the bottle and let them hang out for about one week.
It’s that easy.
Once the tequila has sat and infused for a week, its time to use.
Gather up your ingredients for the margarita’s:
You will need : 2 oz jalapeno tequila
3 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
2 oz simple syrup
*note 1 oz equals 1 shot glass
First off to make the simple syrup, its really simple.
Take 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan
bring to a boil
and make sure all the sugar has dissolved, take off heat and let cool.
While the simple syrup is cooling, juice your limes and oranges
and add both to the shaker
Then add the tequila
and simple syrup, add ice to the shaker, close the top, shake well.
Run a lime wedge along the rim of your glass to wet, then roll the rim in the salt.
Then pour into your glass.
Enjoy!

Infuse the tequila (Do this one week ahead)

3 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
2 oz simple syrupMake your simple syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugarAdd to a sauce pan bring to a boil and mix until sugar is dissolved. Cool.
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.
Pour the margarita in the rimed glass, garnish with a lime wedge if you wish, and enjoy!

You are very brave stuffing jalapenos into a bottle with your bare hands. I would have forgotten I touched them and hours later rubbed my eyes.

You should totally have your own tv show! Rachel Ray has nothing on you.

You definitely spiked my interest with this. I have seen jalapeno jam but never a jalapeno margarita. I like that it is infused instead of pureed, which was what I was expecting to see. It is also nice because that tequila can be used with cooking. I might just have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.

@Mindee@ourfrontdoor, It really was a sweet heat, but not spicy. Its hard to explain but a wonder for the tastebuds.

Those sound delicious! I know what else we will be doing our jalapenos from the garden now.

Yummy- I’m so glad your jalapeno version worked out. I’m addicted to that sweet-heat flavor that these margaritas have.

Great idea trying it in the vodka. I’ve also done a pumpkin infused vodka, it’s fabulous too!
