Top end (stem) of the chilli pepper
Sprig of coriander
Fine salt mixed with chilli pepper

In a cocktail shaker, or a cocktail jug, use a muddler and crush the chilli, followed by the coriander. Add one shot of tequila, we used 1800 Silver, one measure of agave syrup, and one measure of fresh lime juice. Pop an ice cube in the shaker and give it a big old Tom Cruise shake!
Take your glass out of the freezer and wipe a half of lime around the brim and roll in your chilli salt. Add your ice cubes and pour over your Margarita, garnish with a slice of chilli and more coriander… enjoy!
