Instructions:

Start by rimming your shot glass with Tajín or chili salt. To do this, wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and then dip it into a plate of Tajín or chili salt.

Strain the cocktail into your prepared shot glass.

Garnish with a lime wedge or slice.

The chili salt rim adds an extra layer of complexity, making it a unique and enjoyable drink for those who appreciate a little spice in their cocktails. Enjoy responsibly!
