JALAPEÑOS. Keep the seeds inside if you like spicier. Remove if you want a lighter heat.

MEZCAL. To make this a spicy mezcal margarita, mezcal is a must. If you’re not a fan of mezcal you can definitely use tequila.

CARROT JUICE. I used my Nutribullet juicer and juiced the carrots on turbo. You can definitely use pre-made carrot juice!

AGAVE. The balance of savory and salty needs a hint of sweetness in this cocktail. If you don’t have agave try honey or simple syrup.
