SPICY MANGO MEZCAL MARGARITA

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces mezcal

• 2 ounces triple sec

• 3 ounces of Trader Joes mango juice

• 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 juicy limes)

• 1 jalapeño (sliced with seeds removed)

• optional: 1 ounce club soda (flavored as desired!)

Instructions

Rim a frosty glass: Place a generous amount of kosher salt and Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Powder on a small plate. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass. Dip the glass into the mixture to rim the surface. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

Mix the margarita: Add the mezcal, triple sec, mango juice, jalapeño, and lime juice into a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake for about 30 seconds to combine. Strain into your prepared glass. Finish with a splash of club soda and garnish with a lime and a slice of jalapeño. Cheers!
