Tequila Infusion

Cocktail Mix

Spicy Rim

Garnish

Method

Tequila Infusion

  1. 1

    Infuse the Tequila

    Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise (removing seeds if you prefer less heat) and add them to a glass jar. Pour the tequila over the jalapeños, seal the jar, and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours, but up to 3 days for a spicier infusion.

Preparing the Cocktail

  1. 2

    Prepare the Spicy Rim

    In a small plate, mix the coarse sea salt, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and then dip the rim into the spicy salt mixture to coat it thoroughly.

  2. 3

    Mix the Drink

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of the jalapeño-infused tequila, fresh grapefruit juice, agave syrup, and fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  3. 4

    Serve the Cocktail

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and a slice of jalapeño.
