Ingredients
4 oz. chile-infused tequila (optional)
3 oz. orange liqueur
3 oz. margarita mix
1 tsp. hot sauce
2 cups ice
chile peppers and lime slices, for garnish
salt
For the chile-infused tequila:
5 jalapeno peppers, halved
5 serrano peppers, halved
1 cup tequila
Directions
1. For the tequila, combine all ingredients in a jar or bowl. Cover, and let sit at room temperature overnight – or up to a week. When ready to use, strain into bottle or jar and keep in a cool, dark place.
2. To make the margaritas, combine the chile-infused tequila, orange liqueur, margarita mix, hot sauce, and ice in a blender. Cover, and puree for 1 minute, until no chunks of ice remain.
3. Rim margarita glasses with salt, and fill glasses with blended margaritas. Garnish with lime slices and a whole chile pepper.
