Spicy Mango Habanero Margarita
Equipment
- cocktail shaker
Ingredients
- 4 oz Infused Tequila Blanco
- 2 oz Mango nectar
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 1.5 oz orange liqueur
- 1 oz lime juice
- ice
for garnish
- simple syrup or agave + Tajín
- lime wheel
- slice of habanero optional
Instructions
- To infuse the tequila-- Wash and slice your habanero (or jalapeño for a milder kick). Add it to a clean mason jar. Cover with your tequila of choice. Store it in a cool, dark place for at least 3 days. The longer it sits, the more flavor it infuses.
- For the cocktail-- rim glass with simple syrup and Tajín and place in the refridgerator to chill.
- Add tequila, mango nectar, simple syrup, orange liqueur, lime juice, and ice to a cocktail shaker. Shake well for about 20 seconds until chilled. Strain over fresh ice, garnish with a lime wheel and a slice of habanero—and enjoy!
Notes
For the infused tequila, use about 2-3 cups of Tequila blanco and 1-2 habanero peppers sliced thinly.
