Let's Cook

Step 1.
On a small plate, combine the chili powder, sugar, and ½ tablespoon kosher salt. Stir with a fork to mix evenly.
-
Step 2.
In a small pitcher, combine the mango juice, tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar (or honey), and the halved jalapeño. Stir to blend. Refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours, until the mixture takes on a slight spicy kick. Discard the jalapeño halves before serving.

Step 3.
When ready to serve, run a lime wedge along the rims of 2 glasses to moisten them. Dip each rim into the chili-sugar-salt mixture to coat evenly. Fill each glass with ice, then pour the margarita mixture over the ice. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
