Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it into coarse salt to coat evenly. Fill the glass with fresh ice cubes.
  2. Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, muddle 3 jalapeño slices gently to release heat without overpowering.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1.25 oz fresh pineapple juice, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar to the shaker along with ice cubes filling it to the brim.
  4. Step 4: Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker is frosty cold.
  5. Step 5: Double strain into the prepared rocks glass to avoid jalapeño seeds.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with a thin pineapple wedge and a single jalapeño slice floated on top for visual heat.
