Jalapeño Mandarin Margarita

I love a margarita made from scratch rather than from a commercial mixer, and this simple margarita made with tequila reposado, fresh citrus juice, orange liqueur, charred lime, and jalapeño is a match made in cocktail heaven. I am all about spicy and smoky drinks, and while this drink is smoky, it is also very refreshing. If you enjoy the flavor of smoky cocktails, try this cocktail with mezcal instead of tequila.
