The Bangkok Margarita.

A note from Erin:
This cocktail puts an exotic spin on the traditional margarita. If you have difficulty finding Thai chilis or Hawaiian black salt, any other chili or kosher salt will substitute just fine.

Notes

For Lemongrass Syrup: Smash a stalk of lemongrass with a muddler to help release some of the oils. Chop up the lemongrass and place it in a pot with one cup of sugar and one cup of water. Bring the syrup to a simmer so that the sugar is fully dissolved and remove from heat. Let the lemongrass steep in the syrup until it is completely cool Strain out the lemongrass and bottle.
