What Cocktail To Make For Valentine's Day | Tasting Table Recipe

TT Drinks Editor Jim Meehan created this twist on the margarita (Spanish for "daisy") using Damiana liqueur-made from a native Mexican herb with purported aphrodisiac qualities. As if that's not enough, Regan's Orange Bitters is heavily spiced with cardamom-yet another aphrodisiac. Sal de gusano (a blend of chile, salt and dried ground worm) adds heat and depth.
