Jalapeño-Cilantro-Infused Tequila
Summer 2019
To keep the spice level palatable, it is important to taste frequently during the infusion process—set a timer, if you have to. This spicy tequila is also terrific in a classic Margarita or as the base spirit in a Bloody Mary.
Makes 1 cup (250 mL)
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced into rounds (with veins and seeds)
⅓ cup (80 mL) chopped cilantro with stems
1 cup (250 mL) 100% agave blanco tequila
1 In a clean glass jar, combine jalapeño, cilantro and tequila. Cover tightly with lid. Gently shake. Taste every 10 minutes until it reaches desired heat level. Depending on the spiciness of the peppers, it could take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
2 Pass tequila through fine-mesh strainer, discarding solids. Transfer tequila to a clean glass jar. Refrigerate up to 6 months.
