Spicy Mandarin Margarita Recipes

MANDARIN ORANGE MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Halve and juice 6-7 mandarin oranges, until they yield about 3/4 to 1 cup of juice.
• Halve and juice one lime.
• Add 2.5 ounces of tequila reposado and 0.5 ounces of Cointreau and stir well. Set aside.
• To rim the glasses, mix 2 tablespoons Kosher salt and 1 teaspoon Miguelito in a shallow dish.
• Cut the lime wedge and run along the rims of the glasses to wet them. Turn the glasses upside down one at a time and dip in the salt-Miguelito mixture until the rims are completely salted.
• Add ice to the glasses, pour margaritas over ice and serve immediately.

SPICY MARGARITA

Steps:

• Put the Spicy Salt on a plate. Dip the rim of a chilled margarita glass into the mixture to coat the edge. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Strain the margarita into the prepared glass.

SPICY MARGARITA

Steps:

• First, make the chilli syrup. Put the sliced chilli and sugar in a saucepan with 50ml water. Bring to a simmer over a low- medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and leave to cool completely.
• For the salt rim garnish, mix all the ingredients together and tip onto a shallow plate. Brush the rims of four tumblers with a little water, then dip the rims in the chilli-salt mixture. Set aside while you make the margarita.
• Tip all the cocktail ingredients into a large cocktail shaker or blender and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels cold, or pulse two or three times to combine. You want to chill, aerate and dilute the drink, but not completely crush the ice.
• Fill a large jug and the prepared tumblers with ice cubes, then strain the cocktail into the jug and stir well before pouring into the tumblers.
