1
Roast the Jalapeno
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Place the whole jalapeno on the grill or in the oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from heat and let cool.
2
Prepare the Ingredients
Once the jalapeno has cooled, remove the stem and seeds (if you prefer less heat). Finely chop the roasted jalapeno and set aside. Cut the lime in half and juice one half, reserving the other half for garnish.

3
Combine the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of mezcal, the juice of half a lime, the finely chopped roasted jalapeno, and 1 tsp of Tajin.
4
Shake the Cocktail
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
5
Serve
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh cilantro if desired.
