BASIC MARGARITA ON THE ROCKS RECIPES

Steps:

• The first thing you'll need to do to prepare this margarita on the rocks is to pour the coarse salt on a clean working surface, use a wedge of lime to run it around the rim of the glass and then dip it in the salt so it sticks to it.
• Next, fill the glass two thirds of the way with the crushed ice. If you haven't got any, you can crush normal ice with a blender or similar.
• Mix the tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice and Cointreau well in a cocktail shaker.
• Pour the mix over the ice in your glass. To give it the finishing touch, add a wedge of lime to the side of the glass. Now you can enjoy your perfect margarita on the rocks!

Steps:

• In the cocktail shaker, add the tequila, Patron orange liqueur and all but 1-2 slices of the jalapeno. Using the muddler, mix the ingredients well. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the shaker along with several ice cubes and place the cap on the shaker.
• In one shallow dish, add 2 ounces of lime juice and in the other, add the salt and chili powder.
• Place your glass, rim side down in the lime juice and then in the salt/chili powder dish.
• Add 3-4 ice cubes to your margarita glass, pour the margarita mixture into the glass and garnish with a jalapeno slice.
