Cocktail of the Week: May Margarita

Southern Wine & Spirits

This margarita was created specifically for Cinco de Mayo sippin’. It’s ideally sweet, deliciously tangy, and the chile pasilla and cinnamon in the salt rim add an unexpected depth and richness to the tequila staple. The only thing this drink will leave you wanting is seconds (and thirds).

Ingredients

2 oz Sauza Blue Tequila

1 oz X-Rated Fusion Liqueur Tropix

1 oz fresh lime juice

1 oz agave nectar

Sliced pineapple for garnish

Junior Merino Chile Pasilla/ Cinnamon salt for rim

Method

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake thoroughly. Salt the rim of the margarita glass. Strain into the glass and garnish with skewered pineapple slices.

Cocktail created by Francesco Lafranconi, Executive Director of Mixology and Spirits Education at Southern Wine and Spirits.
