Chef notes

Putting barbecue sauce in a drink might sound pretty out there, but it really amps up the sweet and smoky flavors of this classic citrusy cocktail.

Preparation

For the rim:

1.

On a small plate, stir together the chipotle powder and sugar until well blended.

2.

Place a small amount of lime juice on a second small plate.

3.

Dip the rim of a cocktail glass into the lime juice and then slowly rotate the edge around in the chipotle sugar. Fill with ice and set aside.

For the margarita:

1.

Fill a cocktail shaker with several ice cubes and add the tequila, agave nectar, lime juice, barbecue sauce and bitters.

2.

Cover shaker and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.

3.

Strain contents from the shaker into the rimmed glass and serve.
