Mezcal Margaritas


How to make a Mezcal Margarita


Ingredients 2 lime wedges
Coarse salt, for the rim of the glass
12 JalapeƱo slices (seeds removed)
Ice
1.5 oz Mezcal
1 ounce triple sec
1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice

Step 1: Salt the rim
If you remember with enough time, chill your glass beforehand in the freezer! Get a shallow bowl that is slightly larger than your glass and fill with a thick layer of salt. Cut a notch in the middle of one of your lime wedges so it can fit around the rim of your glass. Run the lime all the way around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim in salt. Fill your glass with ice.

Step 2: Shake it up
Fill the shaker with ice then add the mezcal, triple sec and fresh squeezed lime juice. Cover well and shake hard for about 20 seconds.

Step 3: Strain and enjoy!
Strain directly into your prepared margarita glass. Garnish with the jalenpeno.
