- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounces fresh honeydew juice
- 1 jalapeño pepper - chopped

Juice some of your honeydew. If you don’t have a juicer, but you do have a food processor, chop your honeydew in the food processor till it’s nothing but mush. Pour into a mesh strainer, and press the juice through the strainer with a spoon. If you have cheese cloth, you can further squeeze the juice out of the pulp.
Juice your lime.
Mix your salt & spices. Pour your salt into a little mixing bowl and add a few shakes of cayenne pepper and smoked Spanish paprika. Mix together and pour onto a surface.
Rim your glass with lime juice and dip your edges into the salt/spice blend.
Add ice to a cocktail shaker with tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, honeydew juice and chopped jalapeños.
Shake vigorously, remove the top and pour margarita with ice into your glass.
