Thai Lemongrass Margarita

Ingredients:

• 3 oz. Tequila (I’d use Blanco for this)

• 2 oz. lime juice

• 2 Tbsp. chopped lemongrass

• 2 Tbsp. peeled/chopped ginger

• Half a Thai chili

• Seltzer

• Thai basil for garnish (not pictured)

• Salt and cayenne pepper for garnish

Technique:

• Muddle lemongrass, ginger, chili, and agave in the bottom of a shaker (realllllly muddle it)

• Pour in lime juice and tequila and shake with ice

• Line the rim of a glass with the opened lime, then coat with a mixture of kosher salt and cayenne pepper

• Pour, add some seltzer, and garnish with some Thai basil
