Up your margarita game this Cinco de Mayo with this drink from Barrio in Chicago. Instead of traditional sour mix, this marg uses lychee and lemon for a unique taste highlighted by Tequila Cazadores Blanco, with black lava salt on the rim for the kicker. (Don’t worry if you don’t have black lava salt at home — regular salt will work just fine.)
