Hints

  1. This delicious recipe is an example of a perfectly balanced cocktail where all ingredients play together in unison, without fighting for dominance.

  2. This cocktail is extremely easy to drink, and it should be in your back pocket if you find yourself with guests that aren’t fond of tequila because of bad experiences they may have had in the past. 

  3. Tajín is a condiment primarily made of chili peppers, lime and salt. It’s made in Tijuana, México. Aside from fitting this cocktail, you can use tajín in a variety of things, such as on top of fruit (like pineapple, mango or watermelon, for example), as well as seasoning for poultry, pork or fish.
