Smoky Spicy Margarita
Modern | Daisy | from Anders Erickson
A Smoky Spicy Margarita is a cocktail that adds a smoky and spicy twist to the classic margarita. It typically involves using mezcal instead of tequila, muddling in jalapeños for heat, and rimming the glass with a spicy salt mixture like chili powder and cayenne pepper.
