3 cups good (plain) tequila
1 cup Grand Marnier
1.5 cups fresh lime juice
1 cup simple syrup (or sub agave syrup to taste)
ice
lime & jalapeño slices for garnish
salt for the glasses, optional
jalapeño infused tequila: ***
1 cup tequila
½ a sliced jalapeño
***This is an ingredient of the basic drink recipe and should be made separately and is added by guests to their taste. Add the jalapeño to the tequila and let it sit at room temp for a few hours or up to a day. Remove jalapeños and pour into a small serving glass. Serve on the side so guests can add as much or little spice as they like. Mix together the margarita ingredients. Add a few drops of the spicy tequila, to taste, to finished margaritas. (it's very spicy - start with less, you can always add more)
