These matcha jalepeno margaritas have just the right amount of spicy and sweet. Made with matcha powder, a hint of cucumber, lemon and of course tequila!
I’m a sucker for a good margarita. Actually just a sucker for good tequila if we’re really being honest .
These matcha jalepeno margaritas are one of my favorite sweet and spicy margarita recipes.
Matcha powder and cucumber balances the spicy jalepeno for one refreshingly good margarita.
Make a pitcher full or just enjoy one (or two!). Either way, you’ll be floating away in Margaritaville.
I’ve included a mocktail version in the recipe notes at the bottom as well.
Matcha Jalepeno Margaritas
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced (about 1 medium cucumber)
- 1 jalepeno pepper, stem and seeds removed
- 1.5 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey (or agave)
- 1 cup tequila (I prefer silver)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- lemon wedges and salt for rimmed glasses
Instructions
- In food processor or blender, combine cucumber, jalepeno, matcha powder, lemon juice and honey. Blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture over a strainer into a pitcher. Use a wooden spoon to push the liquid out (you may have to work in batches depending how big your strainer is). Discard the pulp.
- To the pitcher add tequila and orange juice. Stir well to combine.
- Pour over ice into salt-rimmed glasses (optional).
- Garnish with sliced cucumber, lemon and jalepeno (optional).
Tips
- *For mocktail version: omit lemon juice and tequila. Add 1.5 cups of lemonade instead.
