Pepper Infused Tequila livens up your favorite tequila by adding peppers. Great addition to your favorite margarita mix, perfect for Cinco de Mayo.
I love an extra spicy Mexican martini and finally decided to recreate what I have had in restaurants in the past. First, I needed to start with the tequila. You can use whichever peppers you choose, the spicier they are, the less time it will take!
My husband had so kindly offered to taste test for me, since I am not a fan of straight tequila. It took us five nights to achieve the spiciness we prefer from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning.
Pepper Infused Tequila
Ingredients
- 100% Agave Tequila 1.75 L
- 6 serrano peppers
So my tequila’s infused to my satisfaction, but it seems such a waste to simply toss the peppers. Any thoughts about how they could be used in a subsequent dish?
