Yield 1 cocktail

A surprisingly delicious and not too spicy twist on the classic margarita.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix salt and chili powder together on a small plate. Use one lime to squeeze around the edge of a highball glass. Dip edges of glass into the chili and salt mixture. Set glass aside.
  2. Put jalapeno slices in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle to breakdown jalapeño. Add all 6 lime wedges and muddle again to release juices.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice, tequila, Cointreau and agave. Shake vigorously until the outside shaker is cold and covered with condensation.
  4. Fill your highball glass with ice. Strain the liquid from the shaker through the perforated lid of the shaker or through a Hawthorne strainer into your high ball glass. Really give it a good shake to get most of the liquid out but keep the residual ice, lime and jalapeño in the shaker.
  5. Garnish with a wheel of jalapeño and enjoy!
