1
Prepare the jalapeño
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove seeds for a milder flavor, or leave them in for more heat, depending on your preference.
2
Prepare the glass
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and dip it into coarse salt to coat the rim. Set aside.

3
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and one half of the prepared jalapeño.
4
Shake well
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

5
Strain and serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice cubes. Optionally, garnish with another slice of jalapeño and a lime wedge.
