Ingredients

2 oz. Blanco Tequila
1.5 oz. Carrot Juice
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Ginger Syrup or agave
1 Lime juiced
1 tsp Tajin Seasoning for the rim
Shaved Carrots for garnish

Instructions

Pour Tajin onto a small flat plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and press it into the Tajin to coat. Fill the glass with fresh ice and set aside.
Add the tequila, carrot juice, Fiery Ginger Syrup, Cointreau, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch.
Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Alternatively, strain into a coupe or Nick and Nora glass for a served-up presentation.
Garnish with a rolled shaved carrot or lime wedge and serve immediatly.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a slice of fresh jalapeño to the shaker before shaking. Bottled 100% carrot juice can be used in place of fresh. Mezcal can be substituted for a smoky variation.
