Golden Spicy Margarita (Margarita Dorado Picante)
(Submitted by John Beck)
Ingredients:
• 0.5 oz Grand Marnier • 1.5 oz Tequila • 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice • 0.25 oz Cointreau
• Jalapeño Pepper Rings (for a spicy kick) • Optional: Salt or Tajín for rimming the glass • Ice
How To Make:
1. Prepare the Glass: • Optional : Rim your glass with salt or Tajín (a great choice for extra flavor). To do this, rub a lime wedge around the edge of your glass and dip it into the salt or Tajín to coat it.
2. Muddle the Jalapeño Rings: • Take a few jalapeño pepper rings (adjust to your preferred spice level) and muddle them at the bottom of your cocktail shaker. This will infuse the cocktail with a spicy flavor. 3. Add Liquids: • To the shaker, add: • 1.5 oz Tequila • 0.5 oz Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge • 0.25 oz Cointreau • 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice 4. Shake: • Fill the shaker with ice, then cover and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients. 5. Strain: • Strain the mixture into your prepared glass (you can use a fine mesh strainer if you want to ensure no jalapeño seeds or bits make it into the glass). 6. Garnish: • Garnish with a lime wheel and a couple of extra jalapeño pepper rings for visual appeal and an extra kick! Optional : If you like a slightly sweeter version, you can add a small amount of agave syrup or simple syrup. Enjoy your Golden Spicy Margarita—the perfect balance of citrusy, sweet, and spicy!
Behind the Recipe:
Another variation of the basic margarita. Many of my friends like a little heat. It’s nice to change up from the traditional margarita by just adding a few slices of jalapeno rings and of course a little juice from the jalapeno. Highly recommend on those cooler evenings.
