1
Infuse the Tequila
In a clean glass jar, combine 2 cups of tequila with 1-2 sliced jalapeños. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, depending on your spice preference. Strain the tequila to remove the jalapeño slices before using.
2
Prepare the Glass
Take a highball glass and rub the rim with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into a plate of sea salt to coat it evenly. Fill the glass with ice cubes.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the jalapeño-infused tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass filled with ice. Ensure the salt rim is intact and the cocktail is poured evenly.

5
Add Final Touches
Garnish the drink with a fresh grapefruit slice and a jalapeño slice on top for an extra kick.
