Pickle Margarita with Homemade Chili Rim
5 mins prepServes 1
A unique and surprising twist on the classic margarita, incorporating spicy pickle juice for a 'dirty margarita' experience. The drink is served with a homemade chili-lime rim.
First, prepare the homemade "Tajin" rim: combine 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 2 tablespoons of salt, lime zest (from one lime, or to taste), 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a shallow dish. Mix well. Next, to make the Pickle Margarita: combine 2 oz of Blanco Tequila, 3/4 oz of fresh lime juice, 3/4 oz of spicy pickle juice, and 1/2 oz of Cointreau in a shaker with ice. Shake until well-chilled. Rim a coupe glass with the homemade chili mixture. Strain the margarita into the prepared glass.
