Ingredients
1 drink, as written.
- 1 slice of fresh jalapeño
- 4 oz sweet and sour4 parts; I prefer the mix from Central Market
- 2 oz Don Julio Reposado2 parts
- 1 oz Cointreau1 part
In a rocks glass
In a 28 oz shaker
A half gallon
One part is 1 oz for a single drink.
Batch amounts are the mix before ice. Shake or stir each round with ice, or pour it over ice. A half gallon is the max-fill line on a Ninja SLUSHi.
Method
- Muddle the jalapeño slice in the bottom of a shaker.
- Add the sweet and sour, tequila, Cointreau, and ice, and shake hard.
- Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
From my notes
- Basically a jalapeño margarita. Its working title was “Margarita with Heat,” which needed a better name.
