The Texas Margarita
Jalapeño-infused agave is the secret to this sweet and spicy version from Danny Caffall, of Dallas’s Mansion on Turtle Creek.

Notes
*To make the jalapeño agave, cut a fresh jalapeño and combine with agave syrup in a small container. Let soak for about two weeks. Agave syrup should be sweet and have heat.
