Spicy Jalapeno Margarita Mocktail

Spicy Jalapeno Margarita Mocktail

I’m officially 7 months pregnant and in desperate need of a cocktail. Now obviously, we won’t be having one of those. So instead, I have turned my attention to making mocktails. I’ve mentioned several times on this blog how much I love margaritas and spicy food. So today I’m sharing my new favorite recipe for a Spicy Jalapeno Margarita Mocktail.

Check out my favorite spicy condiments to keep in your pantry.

To make a margarita mocktail, you will need:

  • Ice
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons of orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons of Mike’s Hot Honey
  • A splash of lemon lime sparkling water
  • 1/2 Jalapeno cut into thin slices
  • Lime wedges
  • Chili powder
  • Salt

Step 1: Mix together chili powder and salt on a plate. Wet the rim of your glass with a lime wedge and dip the rim into the salt mixture. Fill with ice. Set aside.

Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker with additional ice. Add the lime juice, orange juice, hot honey and a few jalapeno slices. Shake for 30 seconds and strain into your glass.

Step 3: enjoy with a lime wedge and any additional jalapeno slices.

Now if you want an actual margarita and not a mocktail, just add 1 tablespoon of orange juice rather than 3. Then add two tablespoons of tequila. I prefer the kind with Blue Agave.

The real secret to this margarita is the hot honey. Using the hot honey as a simple syrup is the ingredient that takes it to the next level. You can get Mike’s Hot Honey on Amazon.

What’s your favorite mocktail or cocktail?
