Method

Glass Preparation

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass to moisten it.

Place coarse salt on a small plate. Invert the glass and dip the rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

Add ice cubes to the prepared glass to chill while you make the cocktail.

Cocktail Mixing

In a cocktail shaker, add the jalapeño slices and agave syrup.

Muddle the jalapeño slices gently to release their heat without pulverizing them.

Add tequila and fresh lime juice to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Discard the ice from the prepared glass. Strain the cocktail into the salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice.

Garnish

Garnish the drink with a fresh jalapeño slice and a lime wheel on the rim or floating on top.
