Ingredients
- 3 ounces anejo tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces lime juice
- 1 1/2 ounces triple sec, such as Cointreau
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 lime round slices
- 4 sugar cubes
- 1/2 ounce rum, such as Bacardi 151
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker with ice, add the tequila, lime juice, triple sec and agave syrup. Shake vigorously to combine. Strain into 4 tall shot glasses.
- Mix the sugar and salt together onto a small plate. Dip each lime slice into the sugar mixture, shaking off any excess. Place a slice of lime on top of each of the shot glasses, then place a sugar cube on top of each lime. Pour a dash of the rum over each sugar cube. Using a long match or fire starter, ignite the sugar cubes, and when the sugar begins to caramelize, blow out the flame. Fold the lime slice and drop it into the shot with the sugar cube, and serve immediately.

Reviews
Very cute and fun idea! However, it is a lot of trouble, especially considering it makes so little that you really don’t get to enjoy it. Next time, I’m going to make a regular margarita (the recipe is WAY too strong since it is meant to be a shot) and figure out a way to SOMEHOW float the lime circle on top (maybe by propping it up on a bed of crushed ice??), and go from there. Cool idea, but my guests complained they wanted more.
Loved every ounce of it…. My bestie did as well
