Spicy Margarita with Chipotle & Lime Cocktail Salt

If you love a sour, spicy cocktail, please read on. It’s my favourite 😍 Spicy Margarita’s with Chipotle & Lime Cocktail Salt  A simple recipe that you can easily tweak to suit your tastebuds.Like a little more spice? Simply add in more Jalapeno slices. We’ve added our super tasty Chipotle & Lime Cocktail Salt to the glass rims as it’s waaay more fun than plain old Salt. If you like a little more fire try the super spicy Tomato & Chilli Cocktail Salt and add a few extra Jalapeno slices to the shaker.

What you’ll need – 2 serves

• Chipotle & Lime Cocktail Salt
• Limes – one to slice for garnish, one for the cocktail and enough to make 60ml juice
• Jalapeno, fresh – allow 2 slices plus one extra slice each for the garnish (more if you want spicier)
• 2 Tbsp. Sugar
• 30ml Cointreau or other Orange Liquor
• 90ml Tequila 
• Ice – some to shake plus extra to serve
• Toothpicks

To do

Run a slice or wedge of Lime around the top of your glasses. Dip them into the Chipotle & Lime Cocktail Salt so there is a tasty good looking edge of saltiness. Set them aside. Slice one Lime and the Jalapeno. Place one slice of Jalapeno onto a slice of Lime and fasten with a toothpick. (ideally want the toothpick to be long enough to sit on top of the glass). Now the glasses and garnish are ready we can get mixing!

Next

Muddle in a cocktail shaker (or jug if you are making a larger batch) the Jalapeno slices (2 each is mildly spicy) plus Lime slices and Sugar. Add in some ice, Tequila, Cointreau and Lime juice. Close the shaker and shake for around 30 seconds. (or just stir it)

*the seeds of the Jalapeno are spicier than the actual Chilli*

To serve

Add a little ice into each glass and strain your delicious Spicy Marg straight in. Add the Lime and Jalapeno garnish and enjoy. I bet you’re wishing you made a whole jug full about now 🙂
