How to make tequila infused with habanero chiles and strawberries in a half-gallon lidded mason jar using silver tequila that is 100% blue agave. Habanero chiles are very hot, so only use as many as you think you can handle. This infused tequila makes a mean straight-sipper or spicy margarita – use it in the Parish’s Strawberry Habanero “Strawbanero” Prickly Pear Margarita recipe.
Servings: 12 -15
Use a half-gallon lidded mason jar, 100% blue agave silver tequila and as many habanero chiles as you can handle.
Ingredients
- 1 750 ml bottle 100% silver blue agave tequila
- 1 pint strawberries hulled and halved
- 3-5 habanero chiles stems removed and chiles halved (do not remove the seeds or membrane)
Instructions
- Put the strawberries and chiles in the mason jar, then pour in the tequila.
- Screw on the lid and let sit at room temperature for 7 days. The tequila will become a beautiful slightly dark pink color.
