Ingredients:
For 4 Spicy Mexican Candy Shots, you will need:
For the Shot:
- 2 ounces (60ml) of silver tequila
- 1 ounce (30ml) of watermelon schnapps
- 1/2 ounce (15ml) of lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Ice cubes
For the Rim:
- 1 tablespoon of chamoy sauce (for rimming)
- 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste (for rimming)
- A mixture of equal parts chili powder and salt (for rimming)
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
- Chill Your Glasses: Start by chilling four shot glasses in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. Cold glasses enhance the shot experience.
- Prepare the Rim: In a small, shallow plate or dish, combine the chamoy sauce and tamarind paste. Mix until it forms a smooth, thick paste. In another shallow plate, combine equal parts of chili powder and salt.
- Rim the Glasses: Remove the chilled shot glasses from the freezer. Take each glass and dip the rim into the chamoy and tamarind mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then, dip the same rim into the chili-salt mixture to create a spicy and salty rim. Set aside.
- Mix the Shot: In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes. Pour in the tequila, watermelon schnapps, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
- Strain and Pour: Strain the spicy Mexican candy shot mixture into the rimmed shot glasses, using a fine strainer to catch any ice or pulp.
- Garnish: Garnish each shot with a small lime wedge for an extra burst of citrus.
- Serve and Sip: Present your Spicy Mexican Candy Shots to your guests and enjoy this unique blend of flavors. Sip, savor, and embrace the delightful, zesty kick!
With our Spicy Mexican Candy Shot, you’ll add a burst of excitement to your gathering. The fusion of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors will make your taste buds dance. Cheers to a taste of Mexico in every shot!
