Spicy margaritas

*makes two cocktails

Ingredients:

• 3oz tequila
• 3oz fresh lime juice (from about 3-4 limes)
• 2oz Cointreau
• Tajin seasoning, for glass rims
• Serrano or jalapeño pepper, sliced into thin rounds

A few notes on making these:

• If you don’t prefer a spicy margarita, you can make this without the peppers
• I love Tajin on the rim of the glass, but a nice sea salt will work as well.

Directions:

• Juice limes and slice peppers
• Pour a bit of Tajin or salt into a shallow saucer.
• After juicing limes, run a lime slice around the rims of your glasses.
• Dip the glasses in the saucer of Tajin spice or salt.
• Fill rimmed glasses with ice and place in freezer while you shake your drinks.
• Fill shaker with ice
• Add 4-5 slices of pepper, if using
• Add tequila, Cointreau and lime juice, and shake vigorously 20-30 times, until very cold.
• Remove glasses from freezer and pour cocktails through strainer.
• Garnish with a few slices of pepper and enjoy!
