Ingredients
Here’s a complete list of the ingredients you’ll need, with precise measurements:
- 2 oz tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz pickle juice (from dill pickles)
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, for balance)
- 1-2 jalapeño slices (adjust for desired spice level)
- Ice
- Pickle slices and Jalapeno, for garnish
For the Rim:
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Lime wedge
Instructions
Let’s get mixing! Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Prepare the Rim
On a small plate, mix together the kosher salt and chili powder.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass (rocks glass or margarita glass).
Dip the rim of the glass into the salt mixture, coating it evenly.
Step 2: Muddle Jalapeños
In a cocktail shaker, add the jalapeño slices.
Lightly muddle the jalapeños to release their spice and flavor. Don’t over-muddle; you just want to bruise them slightly.
Step 3: Add Ingredients and Shake
Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, pickle juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using) to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice.
Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
Strain the margarita into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice.
Step 5: Garnish
Garnish with a pickle slice and a jalapeño ring.
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique and flavorful Spicy Pickle Margarita!
