About this Recipe
It’s hard to beat a classic margarita, but we’re making the case with the addition of jalapeño salt. A little spicy, tart, and sweet, this recipe is a new favorite. We dehydrate jalapeños in the Brava, then blend and mix with salt. The jalapeño salt keeps well in the pantry for up to a year and makes a fun addition to margaritas, spice rubs and marinades. You’ll want to remove the jalapeño seeds before dehydrating - we tested with seeds included and our spice-loving chefs couldn’t handle the heat! If that’s your thing, wear gloves and goggles while handling the jalapeños. When 5 o’clock rolls around, add the jalapeño salt to the rim of a chilled glass, pour your margarita and enjoy!
