Thai Ginger Margarita

I despise salted rims, but if they are your cup of tea, a little ground ginger in the salt is a neat trick.

Makes 1 drink.

Ingredients:

2 ounces (2 pony shots) thai pepper infused tequila (recipe)
1/2 ounce (1/2 pony shot) freshly-squeezed lime juice
5 teaspoons ginger lime syrup (recipe)
1 lime wedge, for garnish

In a cocktail shaker, combine the infused tequila, lime juice, ginger lime syrup, and several large ice cubes. Shake vigorously and then let sit until the outside of the shaker begins to sweat.

Add several large ice cubes to a rocks glass (lowball) and strain in the contents of the shaker. Garnish with the lime wedge. Enjoy
