Typically while I’m cooking my sweet husband will make me a cocktail or a glass of wine. When he learned about this pork belly experiment, he decided to do a little inventing of his own. Thus, the Spicy Korean Cocktail was born! 

Following a very traditional recipe for a margarita, but adding in Gochujang for spice makes this a special treat.
