Spicy Margarita Recipe

Posted by

This recipe is built to deliver a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy, with an aromatic depth from the kit’s special infusions.

Component	Ingredient	Amount
Spirit	Blanco Tequila	60 ml (2 oz)
Liqueur	Orange Liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)	30 ml (1 oz)
Acid	Fresh Lime Juice	30 ml (1 oz)
Sweetener	Muscovado Sugar	1-2 tsp (or to taste)
Infusion	Coriander Seeds	1/4 tsp
Infusion	Red Peppercorns	2-3 peppercorns
Garnish	Sriracha Chilli Salts	For the rim
Garnish	Dried Lime or Orange Garnish	1 slice

Prepare the Rim: Pour a small amount of Sriracha chilli salts onto a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your chilled margarita or rocks glass. Gently press the outer edge of the rim into the salts to create a spicy, zesty edge.
Muddle (Infusion Base): In your Garnish Club shaker jar, combine the muscovado sugar, coriander seeds, and red peppercorns. Add a small splash of lime juice (about 1/2 tsp) and gently muddle these ingredients. This helps release the oils and flavors from the spices and dissolve the sugar.
Add Liquids: Pour the blanco tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice into the jar.
Shake: Fill the shaker jar completely with ice. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled. The hard shake is essential for properly chilling, diluting, and integrating all the flavors.
Serve: Fill your prepared, salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. Double-strain the Spicy Margarita mixture into the glass to catch any larger pieces of muddled spice.
Garnish: Garnish with one of the dried lime or orange garnishes from the kit.
