Whiskey Scene Notes

Spread prepared spicy chili salt on a small plate. Moisten the outside edge of the glass with lime, then dip it lightly into the salt. Finish the drink with a lime garnish.

Choose a coupe or margarita glass. Our Glassware guide explains the shapes to keep in your cocktail cabinet.

For a homemade rim, try Whiskey Scene Chili-Lime Salt, a Whiskey Scene similar option.
