How To Make blood orange-jalapeno margaritas

  • Step 1
    *To make jalapeno infusion: Slice up a fresh jalapeño pepper and allow it to steep in 1/2 cup of tequila for 2 hours. Taste to check the heat level, and continue to steep if a stronger infusion is desired (I left the slices in for a full 4 hours). Once infusing process is complete, remove the slices by pouring the mixture through a fine-meshed strainer.]
  • Step 2
    TO MAKE DRINKS: Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass. Optional garnish: salt the rim of the glass.
  • Step 3
    To serve as a pitcher drink: Multiply the ingredients by the number of guests. Combine in a pitcher and chill until ready to serve. Pour over ice or shake cocktails individually.
