1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it in salt to coat the rim. Set aside.
2
Muddle Jalapeño
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh slice of jalapeño. Using a muddler, gently press the jalapeño slice to release its oils. Be cautious not to over-muddle, as you want to infuse the drink without making it too spicy.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the blanco tequila, habanero mezcal, pineapple juice, agave syrup, and fresh lime juice into the shaker with the muddled jalapeño.
4
Add Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid.
5
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and meld the flavors.
6
Strain and Serve
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice. This will help to filter out any jalapeño bits.
7
Garnish
Garnish with an additional slice of jalapeño or a lime wedge on the rim of the glass, if desired.
