1/4 cup granulated sugar
Lime wedges and jalapeño slices, to garnish
Optional Ingredients
Club soda or soda water
Directions
-
In a large pitcher, combine the silver tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, sliced jalapeño peppers and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is resolved.
-
Refrigerate the margarita pitcher for at least 2 hours before serving, or until fully chilled.
-
Stir the margarita mixture before serving, to ensure all the jalapeño flavor is evenly distributed.
-
Add ice to each glass and pour the margarita mixture over the ice.
-
Top off each glass with a splash of club soda or soda water, if desired.
-
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and a slice of fresh jalapeño pepper.
-
Sip and enjoy!

Note: If you prefer a less spicy margarita, you can remove the seeds and membranes for the jalapeño peppers before adding them to the pitcher.
