Great suggestions by other reviewers. It's important to wet the rim of the glass with a cut lime before dipping in the salt. This is a must. If you've got any smoked salt on hand, use THAT! Off the hook! Also, if you don't mind sacrificing a small amount of tequila, you can do what I do. Slice a jalapeno in half then drop it, seeds and all, into a a bottle of tequila. Just let it sit in there, infuse, and make nice-nice. Then use this to make your drinks. Umm um um! Be warned, the longer it sits the hotter it gets, but man, what a flavor punch! I have made some award-winning drinks with this method. Cheers, Y'all!

You can also use a garlic press to squeeze jalapeno juice out of thick slices.

Minus the jalapeno we call these Skinny Rita's. I'm going to give this a try this evening. Lots of jalapeno's in my garden. I'll let you know. BTW I would use lime to moisten the rim of the glass.

Did some work in the garden today and I have Jalapenos galore! Stumbled across this recipe and WOW what a great afternoon treat to beat the 90 degree heat! (hehehe I am a poet and didn't even know it). The Margarita was delicious-- I didn't have agave and used Sweet and Sour Mix with some Rose's Lime Juice. Very Good although I think I will try to muddle the jalapeno on the next batch. Thanks for a great recipe!
