Alright, let’s talk about this here jalapeno infused tequila. I ain’t no fancy bartender or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about makin’ stuff taste good, and this here tequila, well, it’s somethin’ else.
First off, what is it? It’s just tequila, the kind you drink, but with them jalapeno peppers thrown in. You know, them little green peppers that make your mouth all hot and bothered? Yeah, them ones. You stick ’em in the tequila and let ’em sit for a spell. How long you let ’em sit? Well, that’s up to you.
- Want it kinda mild, just a little kick? Leave ’em in for a day, maybe a little less.
- Want it to burn your tongue off, make you sweat a little? Leave ’em in for two days, maybe even longer. I seen some folks leave ’em in for a whole week! Crazy, I tell ya, but they like it that way.
Now, why would you wanna do this to perfectly good tequila? I’ll tell you why. It makes it better! It gives it a kick, a little somethin’ extra. You can use it to make all kinds of drinks. Spicy margaritas, oh yeah, them’s good. Or just drink it straight, if you’re brave enough. I ain’t always brave enough, but sometimes, you just gotta go for it, you know?
Makin’ it ain’t hard neither. You get yourself a bottle of tequila. Don’t go buyin’ the cheap stuff, get somethin’ decent. Then you get some jalapenos. Fresh ones, the prettier the better, I always say. Wash ’em good, you don’t want no dirt in your drink. Then you slice ’em up. Some folks like to take the seeds out, to make it less spicy. Me? I leave ’em in. More flavor that way, I reckon.
Then you just stick them jalapenos right into the tequila bottle. Yep, just cram ’em in there. Put the lid back on tight, and then you wait. Like I said, a day or two, maybe more. The longer you wait, the spicier it gets. And that’s all there is to it. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, as them youngsters say.
Now, some folks get all fancy about it. They use special kinds of tequila, like that there “Casamigos Blanco” stuff, made from “100% Blue Weber agaves.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? I ain’t never tried it, but I reckon it’s good. They say it makes the tequila “spicy yet balanced, with just the right level of heat.” Well, I say my way is just fine too. It’s all about what you like, ain’t it?
You can use this here jalapeno tequila in all sorts of cocktails. Like I said, margaritas are the most popular. But you can get creative too. Add a little lime juice, some agave syrup, maybe a splash of soda water. Experiment a little. That’s half the fun of it, I think. And don’t worry too much about messin’ up. It’s hard to go wrong with tequila and jalapenos, I tell ya.
One thing though, you might be wonderin’ how long this stuff lasts. Well, it
