Make this fiery Devil’s Margarita using chili-infused tequila and a spicy rim for a bold, craft cocktail experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Blanco Tequila (chili-infused recommended)
  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 0.75 oz Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 0.5 oz Agave Nectar or Simple Syrup
  • 2–3 thin slices Fresh Jalapeño (or to taste)
  • Pinch of Cayenne Pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Coarse Salt mixed with Chili Powder and Paprika (for rim)
  • Lime wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your glass: Rub the rim of a rocks or coupe glass with a lime wedge. Roll the rim in the salt and chili powder mixture. Set the glass aside.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the jalapeño slices with the agave nectar. Do not over-muddle; you want flavor, not excessive bitterness.
  3. Add the chili-infused tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the shaker.
  4. Fill the shaker with ice. Seal the shaker and shake well until thoroughly chilled, about 15-20 seconds.
  5. Double strain the mixture into your prepared, ice-filled glass.
  6. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge. Serve this fiery margarita immediately.

Notes

  • For chili-infused tequila, let a few dried Arbol chilies or a sliced jalapeño sit in 8 oz of tequila for 2 to 4 hours, tasting frequently.
  • Adjust the amount of agave nectar based on the tartness of your limes and your preference for sweetness.
  • Use a high-quality Blanco tequila; its clean profile handles the spice well.
