Ingredients:
3 ounce(s) cointreau |
3 ounce(s) fresh-squeezed blood orange juice |
1 ounce(s) fresh-squeezed lime juice |
4 ounce(s) jalapeo-infused silver tequila |
Directions:
1. To make jalapeo infusion: Slice up a fresh jalapeo pepper and allow it to steep in 1 cup (I used just half a 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.
2. 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.
