1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can remove the seeds and membranes.
2
Infuse the Tequila
In a large glass jar or bottle, combine the halved jalapeños and tequila. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

3
Combine Ingredients
After 24 hours, strain the infused tequila to remove the jalapeños using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. In a cocktail shaker, combine the infused tequila, agave syrup, lime juice, and salt.
4
Shake
Add ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the ingredients well.
5
Serve
Strain the mixture into glasses filled with ice. Optionally, garnish with lime wedges, extra jalapeño slices, and fresh cilantro.
