Cooking Tips

• For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before making the syrup.
• Make the jalapeno syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, heating until the sugar dissolves, and then adding sliced jalapenos. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then strain and cool before using.

Storage and Serving

• This punch is best served fresh, but you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• If making ahead, wait to add the ice cubes until just before serving to prevent dilution.
• Serve the margarita punch over ice in salt-rimmed glasses for a classic presentation.
• You can also serve it in a punch bowl with a ladle for a larger gathering.
