1
Prepare the Jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder flavor, or leave some seeds for extra heat.
2
Muddle the Jalapeño
In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced jalapeño and muddle it gently to release the oils and flavor.

3
Combine Ingredients
Add the fresh lime juice, tequila, and agave syrup to the cocktail shaker with the muddled jalapeño.
4
Add Chili Powder
Sprinkle in the chili powder for an extra kick.
5
Shake Well
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.

6
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip the rim in salt to coat it.
7
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with additional lime wedges and a slice of jalapeño if desired.
