Tips
- For less heat, use 1 jalapeno instead of 2.
- For a super spicy jalapeno, look for ones with lines or specks on them.
- For a milder jalapeno, choose ones with smooth, bright green skin.
- When making infused tequila, stick with a mid-to-low range tequila.
- The tequila can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months.
- Use in margaritas, palomas, or other tequila drinks to add a little spice. Do not recommend for shots
