Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Ounces tequila
- 1 Ounce orange liqueur
- 2 kiwis peeled and cut into pieces
- 1 Ounce lime juice fresh
- ¼ to ½ jalapeño seeded and cut in pieces
- 1 Cup ice
Optional Spicy Rim
- Tajin or chile powder
- lime wedges
Optional Garnishes
- kiwi slices
- jalapeno slices
Instructions
- Add tequila, orange liquor, kiwi, lime juice, jalapeño, and ice to a high speed blender and blend until smooth. If you don't want a frozen style drink, reserve the ice cubes and pour the finished margarita over them instead.
- If you want a spicy rim, halve a lime, run the lime around the rim, and then dip the rim into the Tajin.
- Transfer the contents of the blender into your prepared glass and optionally garnish with additional kiwi and/or jalapeño.
Notes
Start with less jalapeño: You can always add more heat after tasting.
Use ripe kiwi: The sweeter the fruit, the better the flavor.
Chill the glass: Keep your drink colder and more refreshing by using a chilled glass.
Garnish ideas: Garnish with a kiwi or or jalapeño sliced lengthways.
Frozen vs. rocks: I find the frozen method has better consistency than serving it on the rocks.
Rim the glass: To rim it the glass, put the Tajin or chile powder in a small dish, wet half of the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and roll it in the powder.
