Ingredients

2 jalapeño rounds, more for garnish
1 ounce lime juice, about 1 lime
2 teaspoons calorie-free sweetener
1 ounce tequila
1 ounce orange juice
Salt or Tajin, optional for rimming
Lime wedge, for garnish

Instructions

Prep:

If you enjoy a salted glass, prep the rim of your glass by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim. Dip in tequila salt or Tajin, and set aside.

Make the marg:

Add the jalapeño rounds (slices) with or without the seeds (the seeds add heat) inside a cocktail shaker. Add the lime juice and granulated zero-calorie sweetener and using a muddler, press down to release the jalapeño juices. When you smell the spicy aroma, it's ready to shake.
Add the tequila, orange juice, and a handful of ice cubes. Shake well until the sides are fully frosted.

Serve:

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the cocktail through the strainer and pour it into the prepared glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime and additional jalapeño slices.

Notes

Make a pitcher of this spicy skinny margarita that serves 8 by blending half a jalapeño with 1 cup of lime juice. Strain the spicy mixture into a pitcher, add 1 cup tequila, 1 cup orange juice, and ¼ cup calorie-free sweetener. Stir with ice, chill for an hour, then pour over ice and garnish!
