Spicy, slightly smoky, and tangy sweet! Yum.
Don’t be confused – this isn’t the recipe for the margarita sold at the restaurant Chipotle. That’s good, but we, of course, think this is better. If you at all love spicy things, then give this chipotle margarita recipe a whirl. The chipotle in adobo sauce delivers a smoky sting, the oranges and Triple Sec/Cointreau throw in the tang, and the agave nectar smooths everything out with a delicious sweetness. Want more heat? Up the chipotle sauce used or muddle more of the actual chili and not only the sauce.
