Summary

i’m not typically a tequila girl, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good margarita! it may be blasphemy to some bartenders, but i’ve even ordered one by substituting vodka for the tequila when i’m really craving that delicious combination of citrus and salt. while i tend to like a more classic marg, Cal always goes spicy, amping up the flavor with a tajin rim and drops of fire tincture.

a tip from Cal for you spice-lovers: if you’re craving even more heat, add a few jalapeno seeds before shaking the cocktail!
