About this Recipe
This bold cocktail dances in the grey area between sweet and savory. Starting from tequila as the base, we spiced this drink up with chipotle to complement the spirit's slightly earthy sweetness. Next, we added lime and grapefruit as an acidic counterpoint to the smoky heat. As a last touch, we finished the drink in style with a salty rim made of chipotle flake and alderwood smoked salt.
Perfect for a slow sip at dusk after a hot summer day, the cocktail tastes exactly like what we decided to call it: a smoky sunset.
Instructions
For the Rim
Mortar and pestle the chile until fine, then stir in salts.
Wet the rim of a tumbler with a lime wedge. Dip the glass into chipotle salt and set aside.
For the Cocktail
