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.]
