Jalapeño Margarita

I am a firm believer in Taco Tuesday and the enjoyable Margaritas that accompany it. The Tajin & Salt Rim on this pitcher of Jalapeño Margarita is a game changer. If you aren't a fan of a little kick you just use regular limeade.

Ingredients:

Margaritas:
5 parts Jalapeño Limeade from Trader Joes
4 parts Anejo or Silver Tequila
1 part Triple Sec
 

Rim Glue:
2 Limes – Juiced
1/2 teaspoon Honey
 

Tajin & Salt Rim:
3 tablespoons Tajin
2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
Lime – for garnish 

Directions:

Mix the margarita ingredients in a shaker and chill. Mix “Rim Glue” ingredients in a shallow dish that you can dip the rim of your glasses in. Mix the Tajin and Salt ingredients into a shallow dish you can dip the rim of your glass in. 

Assembly:
1. Dip glass in “Rim Glue”
2. Dip glass in Tajin & Salt mixture
3. Allow glasses to sit until Rim Glue is dry 2-5 minutes
4. Add Ice to glass
5. Pour Margaritas into glass
6. Garnish with Lime
