I may not be Ben Franklin and his kite, but hopefully my small invention will get you equally lit.

    Pour tequila into ice-filled shaker. Stop only when you’re certain there’s too much.
    Splash it with some cointreau.
    Squeeze in key limes until you’re bored.
    Shake it like a Polaroid.
    Run a lime slice around part of the rim of your martini glass.
    Dip it in Kosher salt. Dip it again in aleppo pepper.
    Pour shaker contents into glass.
    Sip at your leisure… It won’t get weak from melted ice!
