The Smoky Chipotle Margarita blends tequila and lime with a spicy component—chipotle syrup—to create a bold, aromatic twist on the classic Margarita. Shaken hard, it pours bright and expressive, with heat enhancing citrus and agave depth. Depending on infusion strength, the drink ranges from mildly warming to intensely spicy.
