This Margarita variation nixes the triple sec and uses fresh orange slices instead to infuse the orange flavor notes. It also uses a little bit more agave than a traditional Margarita, which offsets the kick added from cayenne pepper or Tajin rim.
Ingredients
2 ounces blanco tequila
1 ounce fresh lime
1/2 ounce agave
2 orange wedges
Garnish: cayenne pepper or Tajin
Directions
Combine all ingredients into a mixing tin with ice.
Shake and strain into a coupe.
Garnish with a thin line of cayenne pepper or Tajin.
