(it's part of the recipe!) slice the 2 serrano peppers in half lengthwise and stuff them into the bottle of tequila. after 2 days, strain the tequila and remove the peppers.
• 2 to make the cocktail, pour a small amount of sweet & sour into a bowl and dip the edge of a 12-ounce highball glass into the mix and then into the margarita salt and shake off the excess. fill the glass with ice, and then pour the tequila, grand marnier, sweet & sour and tamarind nectar into the glass in the order given. cut a slit into one edge of a jalapeno pepper slice and garnish glass with pepper.
