The perfect combination of tart and sweet with a kick of spice. These are the best margaritas in all the land.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHIPOTLE CHILE SALT WITH LIME
  • ½ Tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ Tablespoons Chipotle Chile Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Lime Zest
  • Lime Wedges, For Garnish
  • FOR THE MARGARITAS:
  • 5 ounces, fluid 100% Agave Tequila (preferably Reposado)
  • 6 ounces, fluid Fresh Pink Grapefruit Juice
  • 1-½ ounce, fluid Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 ounce, fluid Light Agave Nectar
  • Ice, To Fill Your Cocktail Shaker And Serving Glasses

Preparation

Start with the chipotle chile salt. In a shallow bowl, combine the kosher salt, chile powder and lime zest.

Moisten the rim of two glasses (or mason jars because they’re festive) with a lime wedge. Gently dip the rim of each glass in the chile salt and twist to coat. Briefly set aside while you whip up your margs.

Place the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice and agave nectar in a cocktail shaker with ice. (If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, relax. You can just mix the ingredients in a large glass.) Put the lid on and shake vigorously then pour over ice into each of your rimmed glasses.

Get weird.
