Blood red, black rimmed, and not here to play nice.

Pro Tip
The half rim lets every sip go salty or clean, your call. Fresh blood orange gives the deepest color; if your market doesn't have them yet, a good bottled blood orange juice works. Pour trick: 1/4 oz = a 1-second squeeze. Count "Swi-cy" as you pour.
Every delicious spicy version needs Margaheata.
Keep the tequila, vodka, or rum you already like; Margaheata brings the sweet heat from hand-selected fresh serranos, habaneros, and jalapeños. You set the heat one 1-second squeeze at a time, and since it's 0% ABV the same bottle works in the cocktail and the mocktail. The only thing it replaces is that sad half-jalapeño in the back of your fridge.
