Wow! I had a margarita last night after the pepper sat for about an hour and could feel the heat then. Tonight my margarita is definitely a sipper. I can't get over the difference 24 hours make. I removed the seeds and membranes also. It's hot and doesn't alter the flavor which is quite nice. Thanks.

This is a very nice version of a margarita and I don't think it's too spicy at all.... actually fairly subtle.

You definately need 1 whole pepper in the bottle of tequila, I did remove the seeds and membrane. I don't think drinking a pepper seed would be very fun. I used a bit less of the orange brandy (Contreau and a little extra agave. Salt on the rim and perfection!

I can't wait to serve it to a group of friends!

This was the perfect alternative to the ordinary margarita. Everyone loved the agave syrup with the heat of the habanero. This recipe is a keeper. I did remove the habanero from the tequila after soaking it overnight.

I tried making this after soaking a half of a fresh bought habanero overnight in a glass of Two Fingers Imported Silver Tequila. I was not willing to risk my entire bottle of tequila with the habanero. Just in case I didn't like the end result.
Well the experiment worked out for me. The tequila picked up just the right amount of fire from the pepper- for me- but you cannot serve this drink to anyone who does not "do" habanero heat regularly, say in chili or stews.
They will either gasp and quickly spit out the cautious sip that they took, or they will grab their chest in pain and take a swing at you, thinking you are playing a joke on them.
So, this is a great summer cocktail, and the directions were in sync with the TV Show episode that I enjoyed watching. But this recipe should come with a strong caution, IMO, advising the timid to sample this drink at their own risk!
