1
Prepare the Jalapenos
Slice the jalapenos in half and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder infusion.
2
Infuse the Tequila or Mezcal
In a clean glass jar, combine the sliced jalapenos with the tequila or mezcal. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days for a stronger flavor.

3
Prepare the Glass
Moisten the rim of your glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into Tajin seasoning to coat it evenly.
4
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of fresh lime juice, 30 ml of agave syrup, and 60 ml of the jalapeno-infused tequila or mezcal. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until chilled.
5
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge or an additional slice of jalapeno if desired.
