Official Gusto México Margarita Recipe

There are a few other places we would like to be on May 5 other than our houses: The beach at Cabañas Hotel in Tulum, sunset sailing in Cabo, or surfing in Punta Mita. Instead, we'll pretend we are traveling and share with you, for the first time ever, the official margarita recipe for Gusto México. Salud!

For a Little Kick

This margarita is a beautiful blend of fresh fruit, a touch of sweetness, and a hefty dose of spice thanks to one of Mexico's hottest peppers.

• 2 oz. tequila blanco (Infused the night before with one sliced chile habanero)

• 4 oz. fresh maracuya (passionfruit)

• 1 oz. coconut cream or syrup

• 3 limes

• Mineral water

Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake into a Tajín-rimmed glass over ice. Add mineral water to the top if desired. Garnish with a lime or small habanero if you’re feeling spicy.
