Spicy Margarita recipe Ingredients:
Margarita’s recipe number one in the universe is ours, and, to be honest, it is very high on the list, too. Indeed, our mix will get you started, but there is a limit to how far it can take you. It will be the type of drink that you prefer and the underlining of the drink that will eventually be the fact of the ingredients that you will use in the table. To be honest, one cannot think of a margarita for spicy tequilas without fresh lime juice! No pre-squeezed nonsense. Let’s agree on it. And for this spicy margarita recipe.
Tequila. Tequila should be used as a great tequila, for real. But you can be happy about the price that it costs, not the expensive barrels of aged tequilas (reposado and añejo tequilas). For a margarita, Blanco tequila is the way to go! Just make sure you get the 100% agave tequila.
Triple Sec.  Triple sec is a good option. You just have to think of Cointreau or Combier, or you can think that it is just the only yucky liquor. It is enough to just not buy the absolute bottom shelf. You can even afford it without breaking the bank.
Bitters.Of course, only OG, classic, one-and-only Angostura bitters will do. No, not those weird ones that your mother-in-law gave you for your birthday last year, but not Angostura, full stop.
TajÃn.  I’m telling you, this is the one secret we love the most. Not a must this way, but definitely, your friends will say it’s the best spicy margarita they have ever tasted. What is TajÃn?
It is a heavenly mix of seasonings from Mexico that has chili powder, salt, and dehydrated lime mixed in it. It is sour, hot, and a bit salty. So, you got it, right? It is the best complement and a possible enhancer to this spicy margarita! Come on, instead of the salt rim, you could just let it be without one (or none at all), but where is the fun in that?

FAQS:
 What ingredients are in a Spicy Margarita?
A Spicy Margarita is a cocktail made with tequila, fresh lime juice, and an orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec. It differs in adding muddled jalapeños or chili-infused tequila in place of regular tequila. Getting it sweet is another way of mixing it up with a bit of agave syrup. The glass is occasionally adorned with a salt or TajÃn rim as a kick and a mix of flavors. Lively, sweet, and spicy are the three flavors that the two of tequila and jalapeños make in this drink.
How can I make my Margarita spicier?
A margarita can be a spicy drink with chili-infused tequila instead of the regular one and two more jalapeño slices. Each of hot sauce or cayenne pepper can be added to make your drink spicier. Besides, you can opt for another way by rimming your glass with TajÃn or chili salt, or else infusion of tequila with jalapeños for several minutes can be done before the mixing.
 How is a Spicy Margarita different from a regular Margarita?
A classic margarita is a drink consisting of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, accompanied by a blue dark-green bird that made the same plants. A spicy margarita, on the other hand, has all the ingredients of a regular margarita plus an extra hot spice, which usually comes from jalapeños, chili powder, or spicy tequila. The spiciness counteracts the acidity and the sweetness, which are darker with the bitterness of the CLR. If you love drinking hot-spicy mixes, this is a must, you have to taste it.
