Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Fresh orange juice
- 2 ounces Tequila (silver or reposado)
- 1 ounce Cointreau (or any orange-flavored liqueur)
- 10 drops Liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 3 pieces Jalapeño slices
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
Instructions
Begin by preparing the rim of your glass. On a small plate, mix the kosher salt and chili powder. Run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into the salt-chili mixture to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced jalapeño pieces. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to lightly muddle the jalapeños to release their spice and flavor.
Add the fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener into the cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with the ice cubes, then securely cover it with the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Strain the margarita into the prepared glass over fresh ice, ensuring the jalapeño pieces do not transfer unless desired.
Garnish with an extra lime wedge or jalapeño slice, if preferred, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Spicy Margarita!
