Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
Zest of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup lemon juice
5 tablespoons chipotle powder
3 tablespoons kosher salt
12 ounces Bing cherry puree
9 ounces silver tequila
8 ounces lemon juice
3 ounces chipotle puree (just the adobo sauce from the canned chipotles)

Steps:

  • For the syrup: Bring the sugar, 1 cup water and lemon zest to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Strain and cool. Stir in the lemon juice.
  • For the chipotle salt: Mix together the chipotle powder and salt and store in an airtight container. Stir together the cherry puree, tequila, 6 ounces of the lemon juice, the chipotle puree and 3 ounces simple syrup. Dip the edge of each glass in the remaining lemon juice, and then in the chipotle salt. Fill the glasses with ice, and then pour over the cherry-chipotle cooler.
