Method

Preparation

Prepare the Jalapeño

Slice the fresh jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for less heat or leave them in for a spicier cocktail.

Prepare the Glass

Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with the lime wedge and dip it into the coarse sea salt to coat the rim.

Mixing the Cocktail

Combine the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and the sliced jalapeño.

Shake it Up

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture and infuse it with jalapeño flavor.

Serving

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass. Optionally, you can add a sprinkle of chili powder on top for an extra kick.

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
