Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your glass with Tajin seasoning. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate of Tajin to coat the rim evenly.

  2. 2

    Muddle Jalapeño

    Take one whole fresh jalapeño, remove the stem, and slice it in half. Place the halves in a cocktail shaker and muddle them gently to release the oils and flavors. Adjust the amount of muddling based on your spice preference.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In the cocktail shaker with the muddled jalapeño, add 2 oz of reposado tequila, 1 oz of Licor 43, 0.5 oz of organic agave syrup, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice.

  2. 4

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, you can garnish with a slice of jalapeño or a lime wheel on the rim.

  2. 6

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and spicy flavors of your Sweet Heat cocktail!
