hile sweet margaritas

and salty Caesars have
distinguishably different tastes,
there are a few ingredients that
can marry the two cocktails into
one. Salt, lime and chili are a
classic trio of tastes, especially in
Mexican culture, anyone who has
used Tajin is probably familiar
with this ensemble. Cucumbers,
tortilla chips, and mangos are a
few other unsuspecting foods
that taste great when salt, chili,
and lime are added to them. For
this reason, this recipe is rich in
these ingredients. Knowing this,
be aware that despite margarita
being in the recipe name it is
by no means sweet like classic
margaritas—but the drink is still
beyond fresh.
