- 1 cup simple syrup or sub agave syrup to taste
- ice
- lime & jalapeño slices for garnish

- ½ sliced jalapeño
Instructions
- Make the jalapeño tequila. Add the jalapeño to the tequila and let it sit at room temp for a few hours or up to a day. Remove jalapeños and pour into a small serving glass. Serve on the side so guests can add as much or little spice as they like.
- Mix together the margarita ingredients. Add a few drops of the spicy tequila, to taste, to finished margaritas. (it's very spicy - start with less, you can always add more)
