The Serrano Margarita is a kicked-up version of our classic favorite. Serrano peppers add heat that pairs oh so well with the cool, fresh lime juice. A sugared rim on this cocktail helps cut the spice.

  • 1 oz Fresh Cointreau or Triple Sec Liqueur
  • 1/3 Serrano Pepper with its Seeds
  • Few Pinches of Sugar

Tools
