On June 24, the first of the three episodes aired in which Courteney Cox and Andy Cohen conversed a little bit before Cohen showed fans how to make an original Margarita. Courteney was given a box containing three secret ingredients, one of which she had to incorporate in the drink. The actress upon opening discovered the ingredients to be strawberries, mint and tajin seasoning (a powder consisting of ground chilli peppers, sea salt, and dehydrated lime juice), decided to incorportate strawberries into her drink.
