Spicy Smoked Salt Margarita

Ingredients

  1. 45 ml (1½ oz) tequila blanco
  2. 30 ml (1 oz) fresh lime juice
  3. 15 ml (½ oz) orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)
  4. 5 ml (1 tsp) agave syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  5. Ice cubes
  6. Kiwi Artisan Manuka Smoked Chilli Salt, for rimming the glass
  7. Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish
  8. Optional: small jalapeño slice for heat, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the rim: Moisten the rim of a rocks or margarita glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into a small plate of smoked chilli salt so it sticks.
  2. Mix the drink: Add tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup (if using) into a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  3. Serve: Strain over fresh ice in the prepared glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and, if you like it extra spicy, a jalapeño slice.
