FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP

Step 1: Stir together the water, sugar & jalapeno in a sml saucepan. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 min over med-heat & remove from stove. Let stand for at least 1 hr & cool completely before using for this recipe. (If you make ahead, you can chill in the refrigerator for several dys. You may also want to pour thru a sieve if any pieces of the jalapeno have separated)

Step 2: On a small plate, sprinkle Tajin seasoning. Dip the rim of each glass in water or lime juice & dip in seasoning to line the rim of the glass.

NOTE #1 - Tajin Seasoning is available pretty much everywhere, is usually found in the produce aisle & also often seen at Costco.
-
NOTE #2 - You will have leftover simple syrup that you can use to make more margaritas or it can be saved in your fridge for up to 2 wks. This leftover syrup does askew the nutritional info per serving when the recipe is considered as a whole.
