Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Mezcal Margarita Cocktail.
Step 1
Begin by preparing a delightful rim for your glasses.
Step 2
On a small, shallow plate, blend together one tablespoon of white sugar and one teaspoon of kosher salt.
Step 3
Take a fresh lime wedge and moisten the rims of two 8-inch glasses, then dip them into the sugar-salt mixture for a zesty touch.
Step 4
If you like your drinks chilled, feel free to fill the glasses with ice.
Step 5
Next, grab a cocktail shaker and toss in some chopped jalapeño along with one and a half teaspoons of white sugar.
Step 6
Use a muddler to mash them together, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the jalapeño to release its spicy essence.
Step 7
Now, add freshly squeezed orange juice, mezcal, and lime juice to the shaker.
Step 8
Fill it with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker frosts over, which should take about 30 seconds.
Step 9
Finally, strain the vibrant mixture into your prepared glasses, and savor the bold flavors of your Spicy Mezcal Margarita.

Cheers to a refreshing twist on a classic cocktail!.
