Prepare the Smoky Salt Rim

Fire Up the Wood Chips

Using a small handheld torch or a gas stove, carefully ignite a handful of wood chips (such as applewood or hickory) until they start to smolder and release aromatic smoke. Place a heatproof glass or container over the smoldering chips to capture the smoke.

Blend the Margarita

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, 1 ounce of agave syrup, and a few ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.

Infuse the Margarita with Smoke

Carefully remove the heatproof glass or container from the smoldering wood chips. Quickly pour the margarita mixture into the glass, capturing the smoke inside. Leave it for a few seconds to infuse the drink with smoky goodness.
