Voodoo Juice


And so it has been dubbed: voodoo juice.

Quote of the afternoon: "Holy shnikers! That sh*t is dangerous!"

Finally got around putting my jalapeño infused tequila to use, and god dammit, it was a great decision!  Really spicy, but delicious.  Totally worth the (several) days of not being able to take my contacts out or touch my face without searing my skin.



Mango-Jalapeño Margaritas:

  • Jalapeño infused tequila (from my last post)
  • Agave nectar
  • Roses Lime Juice
  • Cointreau
  • Mango (pureed)
  • Sliced lime
  • Sugar
My recipe was roughly:
  1. 2 parts tequila, 2 parts cointreau, 2 parts lime juice, 1 part agave, 1 part mango
  2. Shake vigorously with ice
  3. Rim glasses with sugar (use lime juice to make it stick)- the sugar is your BFF when your mouth is on fire
  4. Pour into glasses with ice
  5. ENJOY
Beware: they are really spicy. We tried doing shooters, and it was pretty overwhelming. I would advise mixing with the margarita makings, not taking straight shots of the infused tequila.  

Black tea infused vodka recipes to come!

Cheers!
