Notes
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
-
- Orange Juice: Use freshly squeezed orange juice, if possible, for the best flavor. I like using Valencia oranges for juicing. Navel also works well.
- To get the most juice out of your orange, roll it on the counter and microwave it for 20-40 seconds.
- Margarita Mix: Look for this in your grocery store near the tonic water.
- Tequila: I used Jose Cuervo's Silver Tequila. Patron is also always a good choice.
- Watermelon Liqueur: I used DeKuyper, but you can use any other fruity liquor you like.
- Jalapeno: Optional but encouraged. This adds a hint. Remove the seeds/ribs for less heat.
-
- No cocktail shaker? No problem! Use a mason jar instead.
- Ice: Make ice out of margarita mix or orange juice to avoid watering down your drink.
- Add sugar: Don't like a salty rim? Use coarse sugar instead.
- Chill: Chill your glasses to keep your drinks ice cold on these hot summer days.
