Preparation

1

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.

2

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.

3

Shake it up

Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

4

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.

5

Garnish

Garnish your Cholo Margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
