How to Make Cajun Margarita
- **Infuse the Tequila:** Combine tequila, dried chiles, and water in a jar. Cover and let steep at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- **Strain the Tequila:** Strain the infused tequila through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bottle or jar. Store in a cool, dark place.
- **Prep the Glasses:** Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each margarita glass and dip into coarse sea salt.
- **Blend the Margaritas:** Combine the chile-infused tequila, orange liqueur, margarita mix, hot sauce, and ice in a blender.
- **Blend until Smooth:** Blend on high speed for 1 minute, or until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture is smooth.
- **Serve:** Pour the margaritas into the prepared glasses.
- **Garnish:** Garnish each margarita with a lime wedge and a whole chile pepper.
