1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with Tajín. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a plate with Tajín to coat it evenly.
2
Muddle the Basil
In a cocktail shaker, add the basil leaves. Using a muddler, gently press down on the leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
3
Combine the Ingredients
To the shaker, add the silver tequila, spicy bitters, simple syrup, Cointreau, mango purée, and fresh sour mix. Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid.
4
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, garnish with a basil leaf or a slice of mango.
