Mango Jalapeño Margaritas with Homemade Jalapeño Honey Syrup

First, prepare the Jalapeño Honey Syrup: In a small saucepan over low/medium heat, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, and 2 sliced jalapeños. Stir occasionally as the mixture heats up until it starts simmering after 5-7 minutes. Once the syrup reaches a low boil, remove the pan from heat. Allow the syrup to steep and cool for at least 15 minutes. After steeping, strain out the jalapeños, and let the syrup cool completely before incorporating it into your cocktails.

To make the Mango Jalapeño Margaritas: Rim cocktail glasses with Tajin. Add 2 cups mango juice, 1 cup tequila blanco, 1/4 cup Cointreau, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup of the cooled jalapeño honey simple syrup, and 2-3 cups of ice to a blender. Blend on high until well mixed. Pour into the tajin-rimmed cocktail glasses and garnish with fresh cilantro or jalapeño slices.
