Spicy N' Sweet Red Chile–guava Margarita
My favorite Mexican restaurant in Baltimore has a spicy/sweet margarita that is very similar to this one; in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I am posting it here! I like the idea of rimming the glass with a salt-sugar combo... Prep time is infusion time for the tequila.
