Margaritas 3 Ways with Cilantro Jalapeno Tequila

Last week I started the process of infusing my own tequila and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The infusing process ended up being much quicker than I originally anticipated and the flavor was perfect! I’m not much a tequila person anymore, but I could honestly sip this straight! I created three margaritas with the tasty infusion and I honestly cannot pick a favorite! Try them out for yourself and decide on your favorite: pineapple, pomegranate, or the spicy Miss Marguerite! And if you haven’t started your infused tequila yet, you still have time! The process only took two days to reach the flavor I wanted, so head over to my Cilantro Jalapeño Infused Tequila post and get the instructions so yours is ready to go on Cinco de Mayo!

…..

Pineapple Margarita:

2oz pineapple juice

2oz cilantro jalapeño tequila

1oz triple sec

1oz fresh lime juice (juice from about 1 lime)

½ oz simple syrup – see my post here on how to make your own!

Fresh pineapple wedge for garnish

Coarsely ground salt for rim

…..

Pomegranate Margarita:

2oz pomegranate juice

2oz cilantro jalapeño tequila

1oz triple sec

1oz fresh lime juice

½ oz simple syrup

Pomegranate seeds or lime wedge for garnish

Coarsely ground salt for rim

…..

Now for the drink that started it all! I love getting the Miss Marguerite from Delta Café with their cilantro infused tequila, so here’s my take on it with a bit of a kick!

Spicy Miss Marguerite:

2oz orange juice (pulp free)

2oz cilantro jalapeño tequila

1oz triple sec

1oz fresh lime juice

½ oz simple syrup

Lime wedge and a sprig of fresh cilantro for garnish

Coarsely ground salt for rim

…..

Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glasses and dip in a shallow bowl filled with coarsely ground salt. Add each margarita’s ingredients into a separate glass, stir, and add ice. Garnish and serve!
