Anejo Chili Margarita

Anejo Reserve 1800 Tequila : Made from 100%  Blue Agave, this tequila is aged for more than a year in French & American  Oak. It has a deep copper/amber colour & nice viscosity. Taste of agave & smoke. The smokiness, I felt is more of the burned pinas rather from the barrels. Pleasant Agave spiciness,  nutty & oaky, with hint of smoky vanilla. Smooth
.
With Anejo tequila around, it’s time to add some spice to the cocktail & relish like never before. Not recommended for faint hearted as we blend this drink with some red hot chili powder. Though Chipotle  chili powder recommended but I substituted with another brand.

Orange liqueur – 25 ml
Lime juice – 25 ml
