Spicy Celery Margarita by LukasVolger - Recipe Print View

Step 1

Prepare the salted rim of your glass by rubbing a cut lime around it and dipping it into a plate of salt. In a shaker filled with ice (or anything roughly the same size as a shaker that you can seal), combine the celery juice, tequila, and lime juice. Shake for 15 seconds. Strain the drink over fresh ice into the prepared glass, garnish with the celery sprig and lime, and serve immediately.

Step 2

Combine the celery, chili, sugar, and water in your food processor or a blender and blend for 60 to 90 seconds, increasing the speed incrementally, until the mixture is thoroughly blitzed and the sugar is dissolved. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (or cheesecloth-lined colander), pressing on the solids with a spatula or wooden spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
