I’m having a spicy margarita, one of my favorite variations on one of my favorite drinks. Actually with a splash of tepache, even better.

My hands down favorite is classic:

2oz tequila (any that I like)

1oz cognac based orange liqueur

1 oz lime

This one is same but half orange liqueur, half Ancho Reyes, I also really like it with Chinola Passionfruit instead of orange.

    It’s sweet, and not super spicy, just a hint when used in a drink. I like it but my oldest daughter doesn’t. Personally I would infuse orange liqueur with habanero, instead of trying to work one up with the dried ancho - much brighter flavor but good for margarita. I also often make a spicy fire tincture, infuse vodka with habanero for a week, then with anatto for a day, then strain. That adds “spicy” without a lot of other flavor and no sweet.
