Quick and easy, this spicy margarita recipe is as fun as it is refreshing. A kick of heat from muddled Jalapeno pepper, sweet with pineapple juice and traditionally tart with lime.
Spread the Tijin on a small plate. Squeeze lime juice onto another small plate. Turn the glass upside down into the lime juice. Then dip the rim into the Tajin and shake off any excess. Fill the glass with ice.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle one of the jalapeño slices. Or if you don't have a muddler, crush and mash the jalapeno.
Fill the shaker with ice and add the tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice and agave nectar. Shake vigorously and strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a jalapeño slice, or a wedge of fresh pineapple and serve immediately.
Makes 1 drink.
