How To Make a Shio Kosho Margarita | Food52 + Patrón

This Shio Kosho Margarita—meaning “salt” and “pepper” in Japanese—is Bar Director Masahiro Urushido’s take on the hugely popular spicy margarita. His aromatic version is made with Patrón Silver Tequila, lemongrass syrup, yuzu kosho, ginger, and a salt and pepper rim (it brings out the flavors of the fruit and adds a little kick). This series is shared in partnership with Patrón. GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/3fKJW2f
