What is Margarita Week?

Margarita Week is always a good time because we take seven whole days to celebrate the world’s most perfect cocktail in all it’s glory, all in the name of Cinco de Mayo. If you are about to click away because you don’t drink or had a bad tequila experience as a teenager well just hold on a minute because Margarita Week isn’t just cocktails.

Now, about that Spicy Raspberry Jalapeño Margarita

All I can say is, your wish is my command.

I took a very formal survey (ie asked you guys on Instagram), what is everyone’s favorite margarita and I heard loud and clear—Spicy! Spicy! Spicy!!

And this is such a delicious spicy margarita with a fruity raspberry syrup made with the freshest, plump Driscoll raspberries, jalapeño-infused tequila, and lots of fresh-squeezed lime juice for balance. It is super refreshing when it’s terribly hot, can easily be sized up to make a pitcher, and is the prettiest color of pink I ever did see.

And if that’s not spicy enough for you, rim the glass with Spanish Tin’s Spicy Cocktail Salt for extra kick.

It is the margarita that needs to be made right now—at the height of raspberry season, just in time for Cinco de Mayo!

Enjoy the week friends!!

  • Author: Kate
  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Cook Time: 5 mins
  • Total Time: 20 mins
  • Yield: 1-6 drinks 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Jalapeño-Infused Tequila:

  • 1 cup Reposado Tequila
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced

For the Raspberry Syrup:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups raspberries, preferably fresh but frozen work too

To Make 1 Margarita:

  • Lime wedges
  • Spicy Cocktail Salt or kosher salt
  • 2 ounces jalapeño-infused tequila
  • 2 ounces lime juice (about 2 limes, squeezed)
  • 2 ounces Raspberry Syrup

Instructions

To Make the Jalapeño-Infused Tequila:

  1. Add sliced jalapeños to the tequila and let infuse at room temperature for at least 3 hours. The longer it sits the spicier it will be.

To Make the Syrup:

  1. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Stir to dissolve. Add raspberries and place over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook until raspberries are falling apart, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain and chill completely. You can save leftover raspberry pulp and eat like jam.

To Make the Margarita:

  1. Rim a cocktail glass with lime wedge. Dip in cocktail salt and fill with ice.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with more ice. Add tequila, lime juice, and syrup. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass and serve with another lime wedge if you’d like. ¡Salúd!

Notes

This recipe makes enough syrup for 6-8 drinks. If you’d like to make a pitcher of margaritas instead of just 1, multiply all the ingredients by 8.
