Once again we are bringing the heat. The last time we posted a cocktail with a fiery kick it was the Pineapple-Habanero Margarita. This time, we are switching to the ever popular jalapeño pepper for our spice.
Originally I made this cocktail for my husband because he loves food/drinks with major heat. But I took a sip of the drink before passing it on to him and I really enjoyed it. The heat from the pepper combines nicely with the sweet from the raspberry liqueur (I used the Montbisou Framboise same as in the Raspberry Mojito and the Red Pombet Martini).
The drink didn’t leave me running for the nearest fire hydrant to cool my mouth off but instead had me thinking I needed to make my own so I didn’t have to share.
Chile Beso Margarita
Ingredients
1 1/2 ounce tequila blanco
1 1/2 ounces raspberry liqueur
4-5 jalapeño slices
1/2 fresh squeezed lime
Optional: margarita salt
Preparation
If you want salt, rim margarita glass with lime and dip in margarita salt. Then fill the margarita glass with ice.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle freshly sliced jalapeño with lime juice.
Add tequila and raspberry liqueur with ice and shake.
Strain contents of cocktail shaker into margarita glass.
Garnish with slice of jalapeño.
Makes 1 berry spicy margarita.
Cheers!
