Beer Margarita with a Spiced Rim Recipe

 Makes 2 drinks

2 teaspoons sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Juice of 3 limes, plus more for garnish

4 ounces tequila

1 ounce triple sec

1 ounce simple syrup*

2 dashes grapefruit or lime bitters (optional, but highly recommended)

1 light 12 oz. Mexican beer (such as Modelo Especial or Corona)

Combine the sea salt and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish. Wipe a wedge of lime around the edge of two chilled glasses, then roll the rims in the salt and cayenne mixture. Set aside.

In a shaker, combine the lime juice, tequila, triple sec, simple syrup, and bitters, if using. Fill with ice and shake well, then strain into your prepared glasses and top off with the beer. Garnish with a wheel or two of lime.
