Directions

For simple syrup: In a small pot, dissolve sugar in water. Add ginger and lemongrass and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool completely before removing ginger and lemongrass and serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Syrup will last up to 2 weeks.

For rim: On a small plate, combine brown sugar and Cambodian Lemongrass Curry. Dip rims of two glasses in lime juice or water and then in sugar mixture to generously coat rims.

For margaritas: In a cocktail shaker, add silver tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup. Add a handful of crushed ice, seal shaker, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain into two rimmed glasses. Serve up or over ice.
