ChefXi OfficialAn earthy and smoky twist on the classic Margarita, featuring Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Cointreau, and a signature Tajín rim. Shaken and served on the rocks.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip the edge into a small plate of Tajín seasoning to coat. Fill the glass with ice.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled.
A hard shake creates those beautiful tiny ice shards on top.
Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with a lime wedge.
The smokiness of Del Maguey Vida Mezcal is the soul of this drink. It pairs beautifully with the earthy heat of a Tajín rim. If you prefer it less smoky, you can split the base with 1 oz Blanco Tequila and 1 oz Mezcal. Always use fresh lime juice; bottled juice will ruin the bright balance of the agave.
