This literal twist of a margarita is less sweet and has more of a citrus taste. Try this on the rocks for a perfectly refreshing drink to celebrate Cinco de Mayo or to enjoy after a day at the beach. The finish on the rim incorporates a salty and smokey heat to round out the sweetness for a well-balanced drink.

As Aleppo pepper is more smoky than hot you can always add some other chiles to add further heat to the rim of this glass if desired.
