The Capirucha is a delicious smoky-spicy-sweet cocktail with a gorgeous pink color, from Jesse Torres at Mezcalaria Mixtli in San Antonio.
Torres uses a special Sal de Gusano salt rim for this drink, but you can get a good version of the flavor by mixing equal parts dried chile powder and salt. We’ve specified only a pinch of each here because that’s all that makes it onto the glass rim – but you’ll probably need to pour out a bit more than that onto a plate in order to easily transfer to the glass rim.
