Jalapeno Margarita Hot And Sour Mix Recipes

Steps:

• Pierce the jalapeno pepper in 8 to 10 places with the tip of a sharp paring knife and cut it in half lengthwise, leaving the seeds and the ribs. Place the pepper in a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, pour in the tequila, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
• Discard the jalapeno and pour the tequila into a pitcher through a sieve to remove the seeds. Add the Triple Sec, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, and salt and stir. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
• When ready to serve, fill 6 margarita glasses with ice and pour over the margarita mixture; or fill a cocktail shaker with ice and some of the mixture, shake vigorously for 30 seconds, and pour into glasses. Serve ice cold.

Steps:

• Stem, seed, and slice jalapenos into rounds.
• Add mix and peppers in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.
• Steep for at least 24 hours.
• Note: The longer the steeping time the hotter the mix. Experiment to find your favorite heat level. The jalapenos will soften and "cook" in the acidic juice, adopting a sweet and sour flavor. Use these sweet and sour peppers in place of your jarred, pickled jalapenos and you'll never go back -- you'll find yourself making this recipe just to get the sweet and sour peppers!
