Ingredients

  • 1.50 oz tequila
  • 1 oz triple sec
  • 0.50 oz lime juice (juice from approximately half a lime)
  • 0.50 oz jalapeno simple syrup
  • A pinch of xanthan gum (optional, for a frozen margarita)
  • 5 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, jalapeno simple syrup, and ice cubes.
  2. Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
  3. For serving on the rocks, strain the mixture into a cocktail glass over 4 ice cubes. If you prefer a frozen margarita, blend the ingredients with ice in a blender until smooth, then pour into a cocktail glass.
  4. If desired, rim the glass with kosher salt by rubbing a lime slice around the rim and dipping the edge of the glass into a bowl of salt.
