Spicy Margarita Mocktail

Prep Time 8 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes
Makes 1 drink

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 thin jalapeno slices plus 1 for garnish
  • 3/4 ounce agave syrup
  • 2 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce fresh orange juice
  • 2 ounces club soda
  • Tajin or chili salt for the rim
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

  • Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it into a shallow plate of chili salt.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle the jalapeno slices with the agave syrup for about 10 seconds, until the syrup smells peppery.
  • Add the lime juice, orange juice and a handful of ice, then shake hard for 15 seconds until the shaker feels ice cold on the outside.
  • Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice cubes.
  • Top with the club soda and stir once gently so you do not wash off the rim.
  • Garnish with the lime wheel and a jalapeno slice balanced on the rim.

Good to Know

Strain the jalapeno syrup once it is made and keep it in the fridge for a week, so the daily version of this drink takes under two minutes.
