CHILI LIME MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Combine tequila, lime juice, and Triple Sec in a tall glass or drink shaker. Add jalapeno slices and muddle well with a wooden spoon or rubber-tipped muddler, crushing the jalapenos to release their juice.
• On a plate, combine salt, sugar, and chili powder.
• Moisten the rim of your glasses with some lime juice (or the juice from a slice of jalapeno!) and dip the glass rim in the salt mixture. Fill the glass halfway with crushed ice, and pour the margarita mixture over the ice.
• If desired, garnish the glass with a slice of jalapeno.
