Jalapeño and Cilantro Mezcal Margarita

Published 2021
I’m always looking for a little something savory in my cocktails, so I like to swap the sweet orange liqueur called for in many margarita recipes with an herbaceous syrup made with green peppers and cilantro. Mixed with soda water and a good squeeze of lime, the syrup also makes a great nonalcoholic drink.
Ingredients
- Lime wedges, to coat rims and garnish
- Guajillo Chile Salt or Tajín, spread out on a small plate
3 ounces 90
Method
Moisten the rims of two cocktail glasses with a lime wedge. Dip the rims into the guajillo chile salt to coat. Fill each glass halfway with ice.
In a cocktail shaker or glass, stir together the mezcal, cilantro-jalapeño simple syrup, and lime juice. Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses and garnish each with a lime wedge and a few sprigs of cilantro.
