Tangerine Chili Satin Margarita

Ingredients

Cocktail

• 1½ fl oz blanco tequila
• ½ fl oz orange liqueur
• 1½ fl oz fresh tangerine juice
• ½ fl oz fresh lime juice
• ¼ fl oz agave nectar
• 1 thin jalapeño slice, seeds removed, for shaking
• 1 cup ice, for shaking
• ¾ cup ice, for serving

Finish

• 1 lime wedge, for the rim
• ½ tsp chili-lime seasoning, for a partial rim
• 1 tangerine half-wheel
• 1 thin jalapeño slice, for garnish

Equipment

Shaker, muddler, fine strainer, 12-fl-oz rocks glass

Allergens and ingredient notes: Alcohol; check orange liqueur, tequila, and chili-lime seasoning labels.

Measurements use US fluid ounces (1 fl oz ≈ 30 mL), tablespoons (tbsp), and teaspoons (tsp). Syrup and tea batches may make extra: use only the cocktail quantity listed. These recipes contain alcohol and are for adults 21 and over.

Step by step

1. Rub the lime wedge around half the glass rim and press that half into the measured chili-lime seasoning. Fill the glass with the serving ice.
2. Put the cocktail jalapeño slice and agave in the shaker and press gently once or twice with a muddler. Add tequila, orange liqueur, tangerine juice, and lime juice.
3. Add the separate shaking ice, seal, and shake 12–15 seconds. Fine-strain into the prepared rocks glass, leaving muddled pepper pieces behind.
4. Garnish with the tangerine half-wheel and separate jalapeño slice. The garnish adds aroma; remove it before drinking if you do not want additional heat. Fresh peppers vary in strength even at the same measured size.

The Devotti twist: Tangerine supplies sweetness and perfume while a light pepper press keeps the finish bright rather than harsh.

Make ahead and storage

Shake immediately before serving. Keep fresh juices refrigerated and use within 1 day for best flavor.
