This margarita is spiked with fresh ginger and chipotle chili powder. It gets its sourness from fresh lime juice instead of sugar-filled sour mix, which means it's lower in sugar and calories than your run-of-the-mill marg. The grated ginger in the cocktail is an anti-inflammatory and helps prevent nausea, while the chipotle adds a nice kick and is good for metabolism. For a fun presentation, roll the rim of the glass in chipotle.
