Spicy Carrot Cilantro Margarita
Inspired by Casamigos, this high-heat margarita is a bold, savory escape. It balances the smoky-sweet split of mezcal and reposado tequila with the earthy snap of carrot juice and cilantro. The syrup provides a silky texture that carries the spiciness of the serrano pepper, while the cayenne salt rim ensures a complex finish.
