Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 margarita

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp minced or grated ginger
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 2 oz tequila
  • 1-2 tsp agave
  • 2-3 slices jalapeno
  • ginger beer, to top

lime sugar

  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • To make the lime sugar, simply whisk the lime zest and sugar together on a small plate or shallow bowl.
  • Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your cocktail glass. Dip the glass in the sugar and rotate to and fro until thoroughly coated.
  • In the bottom of a shaker, muddle ginger. Pour in pineapple juice, lime juice, tequila, agave, and jalapeno slices. Fill with ice and shake vigorously - the longer you shake, the more jalapeno infused and the spicier the drink will be! Strain over ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with lime wheels.
