Instructions

The Aztec Sunset is a daring and innovative take on the timeless Margarita, substituting the traditional tequila with Raicilla, a lesser-known but deeply flavorful Mexican spirit. This remix not only pays homage to the rich heritage of Mexican spirits but also introduces a smoky complexity to the classic cocktail. The addition of mango and a hint of chili powder bridges the smokey notes of the Raicilla with the citrusy freshness of the traditional Margarita, creating a perfect fusion of flavors that's both refreshing and intriguing. Ingredients: - 2 oz Raicilla - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 1/2 oz agave syrup - 1/2 oz triple sec - 1/2 ripe mango, peeled and chopped - A pinch of chili powder, plus extra for rim - Ice cubes - Lime wheel, for garnish - Salt for rimming the glass Instructions: 1. Prepare a chilled margarita glass by rimming the edge with lime juice followed by a mix of salt and a pinch of chili powder. 2. In a blender, combine the chopped mango and agave syrup. Blend until smooth. 3. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and add the blended mango mixture, Raicilla, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and a pinch of chili powder. 4. Shake vigorously until well chilled. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass filled with fresh ice. 6. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim. The Aztec Sunset is best enjoyed on a warm evening, allowing the complex flavors of the Raicilla to transport you to the heart of Mexico, with each sip unfolding layers of smoke, fruit, and a tantalizing hint of heat.
