Ingredients
  

  • 1 oz jalapeno 1/2 medium
  • 6 oz silver tequila infused with jalapeno (instructions below)
  • 3 oz fresh blood orange juice
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz orange liqueur
  • 1 oz three chile simple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp bourbon vanilla sugar
  • zest of one blood orange

Instructions
 

  • Slice jalapeno. Infuse tequila with jalapeno by placing slices into tequila for 5-6 hours in the refrigerator. When ready to use, set jalapeno slices to the side.
  • Combine bourbon vanilla sugar and orange zest on a plate. If you cannot find bourbon vanilla sugar, raw sugar or brown sugar will work.
  • Rim a chilled margarita glass with the sugar mixture by running an orange slice over the rim and then dipping it into the mixture.
  • In a shaker, combine infused tequila, blood orange juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.
  • Pour into the chilled, rimmed margarita glass filled with ice.
  • Top with a few of the discarded jalapeno slices.
