Method
Cocktail Base
- 1
Muddle jalapeño
Place 3 jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker. Add the lime juice and agave syrup. Gently muddle 6–8 times to release oils and heat without pulverizing the pepper (for more heat, muddle longer or leave seeds).
- 2
Add spirits
Add 2 oz reposado tequila and 0.5 oz Cointreau to the shaker along with 3 dashes of house spicy bitters.
Shake & Chill
- 3
Fill the shaker with a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold and properly diluted.
- 4
Double-strain the mixture into a rocks glass over fresh ice to remove jalapeño solids and seeds. (If you prefer more texture and heat, single-strain.)
Salt Rim & Garnish
- 5
Prepare the rim: On a small plate mix 1 tsp coarse sea salt with 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. Run the lime wedge around the glass rim and dip the glass into the salt-paprika mixture to coat.
- 6
Finish and garnish: Express the lime wedge over the drink, drop it in (optional), and float a thin jalapeño wheel on top. Serve immediately.
