Spicy Mezcal Margarita - Rick Bayless

Name: Spicy Mezcal Margarita - Rick Bayless
Ingredients: Tajín (the spicy, citrusy salt mixture available widely) for rimming the glass (optional); A couple of jalapeño slices (depending on how spicy you like your cocktail); 1 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice; 1/2 ounce simple syrup or agave nectar; 1/2 ounce orange liqueur with a brandy base (Grand Marnier is my favorite); 1 1/2 ounces mezcal (I like Del Maguey Vida—it’s made from the espadín variety of agave)
