Ingredients

  • 1 ounce tequila
  • 1/2 ounce cointreau or triple sec
  • 2 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 jalapeño pepper cut into wheels
  • Salt for rim

Instructions

  • Salt the rim of margarita or rocks glass by placing a small amount of Sriracha on a plate, dashing the rim of the glass with Sriracha, then dipping the rim in salt.
  • Place ice in a cocktail shaker, then add in tequila, cointreau (or triple sec), lime juice, and Sriracha. Shake vigorously, then pour the margarita into the glass.
  • Garnish with a jalapeño wheel and enjoy.

Notes

Want it spicier? Add additional Sriracha to taste.
Shake it hard so the Sriracha blends in instead of settling at the bottom.
No Cointreau? Triple sec works in the same amount.
