Mango Jalapeño Margaritas

It’s April and I want a… margarita.

  • ## Mango Jalapeño Margaritas

    Yield:for one margarita, can easily be multiplied

    Ingredients:

    2 ounces Grand Marnier
    1 1/2 ounces jalapeño tequila
    2 ounces lime juice
    2 1/2 ounces mango simple syrup
    1/2 mango, peeled and chopped
    2 jalapeño peppers, sliced
    salt for the rim
    lime wedges

    Directions:

    For jalapeño tequila: add 2 sliced jalapeños to a large jar or container and cover with 1 1/2 cups of tequila. Let sit for 24 hours, then strain before using. Keep in a sealed container for a few weeks, preferably in the fridge.

    For mango simple syrup: combine equal parts sugar and water (I suggest 1 cup of each), bring to a boil and let sugar dissolve, then turn off heat and let cool completely. Combine 1 cup simple syrup + 1/2 mango (peeled and cubed) in a blender and blend until combined.

    To make the margaritas, rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in margarita salt. Fill the glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over ice and squeeze in lime slices. I also took a few of the jalapeños from the tequila and removed the seeds, then toss them in the margarita.
