Spicy margaritas are known for their distinctive heat, with serrano peppers providing a perfect upgrade from jalapeños. Unlike their milder counterparts, serranos deliver between 10,000 and 25,000 SHU, offering a bright grassy flavor with a slow heat. To prepare a serrano margarita, one should lightly char the serrano pepper to enhance its complexity before muddling it with lime and tequila. This technique ensures that the pepper's spiciness complements rather than overwhelms the drink's other flavors, resulting in a balanced and invigorating cocktail experience.
Serrano chiles, clocking in at 10,000 to 25,000 SHU, provide a bright, complex heat perfect for elevating your spicy margarita without overpowering the drink.
A quick char over gas flame enhances the flavors of serrano peppers, allowing their smoky undertone to complement the citrus and tequila in a margarita.
