Steps:

  • Put the Spicy Salt on a plate. Dip the rim of a chilled margarita glass into the mixture to coat the edge. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, lime juice, Simple Syrup and orange liqueur. Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready by the time the shaker mists up.) Strain the margarita into the prepared glass.

Mix up a chilli-spiked margarita with mango and lime juice, tequila, triple sec and a special chilli syrup. We've added chilli to the salt rim for a little extra kick, too

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

150ml tequila
75ml triple sec
25ml chilli syrup (see below)
25ml mango juice
25ml lime juice
handful of ice
1 red chilli, sliced
50g golden caster sugar
small handful coriander, leaves picked and finely chopped
½ lime, zested
2 tsp sea salt flakes
2 tsp golden caster sugar
½ tsp chipotle chilli flakes

Steps:

  • First, make the chilli syrup. Put the sliced chilli and sugar in a saucepan with 50ml water. Bring to a simmer over a low- medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and leave to cool completely.
  • For the salt rim garnish, mix all the ingredients together and tip onto a shallow plate. Brush the rims of four tumblers with a little water, then dip the rims in the chilli-salt mixture. Set aside while you make the margarita.
  • Tip all the cocktail ingredients into a large cocktail shaker or blender and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels cold, or pulse two or three times to combine. You want to chill, aerate and dilute the drink, but not completely crush the ice.
  • Fill a large jug and the prepared tumblers with ice cubes, then strain the cocktail into the jug and stir well before pouring into the tumblers.
