    Tequila Cooler with Orange and Jalapeno in a glass

    A super crisp and refreshing Tequila Cooler cocktail with just a hint of spice on your lips from the jalapeno. The flavor of the salty, limey silver tequila blends perfectly with the fresh orange and verdant jalapeno, topped off with a few bubbles from the sparkling water. You will LOVE this cocktail on warm spring and summer nights!

    Ingredients

    You only need 5 things to make this Tequila Cooler – ice, silver tequila, orange, jalapeno, soda water.

    tequila, soda water, orange, and jalapeno

    Tequila- Silver Tequila is the best option for this Cooler. The clean and bright flavor compliments the orange and jalapeno perfectly!

    Some brands that I LOVE are Casamigos (my fave), Patron, or Jose Cuervo Traditional.

    Jalapeno – The heat of the jalapeno is called capsaicin which is held mainly in the seeds and ribs (white pith). so choose your heat level accordingly:

    • Low to no heat – Green flesh only.
    • Medium heat – scoop out seeds but leave the ribs
    • High heat – leave the ribs and seeds in place.

    How to Make A Spicier Cocktail

    If you like a little spice in your life you can definitely ramp up the heat in this Tequila Cooler!

    Sub out your silver tequila for a Jalapeno Infused Tequila!

    For MEDIUM heat add the tequila, orange, jalapeno and ice in a cocktail shaker, give it a good shake and then pour into a glass, top with soda water.

    For the MOST heat, give the jalapeno a light muddle in the glass before making the drink.

    Notes:

    JALAPENO/HEAT LEVELS:
