Rock your gathering with this drink and you will definitely not be disappointed. This is a super-fun drink for anyone who appreciates a great margarita and a nice kick of spice. It’s a party in a glass—a festive blend of salt, spice, fresh lime juice, orange bitters, and, of course, our trusted tequila. Because chile peppers vary so much in heat level, take it slow and add the serrano a bit at a time. Better yet, taste the chile first to test the heat before you get your butt kicked from overspicing!
