Servings: 2
- Cocktail shaker
- Muddler
- Jigger
- Rocks glasses
- Small plate
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup tequila
- ¼ cup orange liqueur
- 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 5 thin jalapeño slices
- 3 tablespoons honey or 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning
- Ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the jalapeño slices with the honey and gently muddle to release heat and aroma without breaking down the peppers. Let stand for 1 minute to infuse.
- Lightly coat the rims of two rocks glasses with honey, then dip into Tajín, forming a thin, even crust. Chill the glasses.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the jalapeño-honey mixture, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 25 to 30 seconds.
- Fill the prepared glasses generously with fresh ice. Strain the cocktail evenly between the glasses.
- Garnish with a fresh jalapeño slice, if desired, and serve immediately.
