a little bit about the recipe
"I ended up making several little batches of this guajillo-infused tequila since it tastes so good and seems to pair well with everything....

To really bring the flavor home, I also made a guajillo pepper-strawberry syrup for this super simple and easily batchable margarita variation."

directions
Make the guajillo-infused tequila (note this will add additional prep time):
Cut the stems off two guajillo peppers and slice length-wise. Add the peppers (including the seeds) to approximately 375 mL of tequila reposado. Leave to infuse for 2-3 days. Strain out the peppers and seeds, and it’s ready to use.

Make the guajillo-strawberry syrup:
Combine 1 cup of thinly sliced strawberries + ¾ cup of sugar + ½ cup of water + 2 sliced guajillo peppers (seeds included!) + 1 pinch of salt in a small saucepan.

Heat, muddle, stir, and bring to a boil for a few minutes, then let cool for 1 hour uncovered. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in the fridge until ready to use!

Make the cocktail:
Shake everything with ice and strain into a glass with fresh ice and 🧂 on the rim. Garnish with 🍓.
tips
"If batching for a group, remember to add water to the mix—I usually end up with about ¾ oz water per drink, but taste as you go!"

Guajillo chiles are more fruity in taste than most other chiles; they have a mild to medium heat and complex layered flavor. In Mexican cooking they are second only to the ancho.
