Preparation
Prepare the glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled rocks glass. Dip the rim into a plate of sal de gusano to coat it evenly.
Mix the cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of mezcal, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of citrus agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake it up
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain and serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, you can add more sal de gusano on top of the cocktail for extra flavor.
Garnish
Garnish your Cholo Margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
