Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Blanco Tequila
  • 1 oz melon puree
  • 0.25 oz lime juice
  • 1-2 thin slices Fresno chili adjust to spice preference
  • Tajín seasoning for rimming

Instructions

  • Wet the rim of the coupe glass with lime juice. Dip them into a small plate of Tajín to coat the rims evenly.
  • In a shaker, muddle the Fresno chili slices to release their heat and flavor.
  • Add the tequila, melon puree, lime juice, and ice to the shaker.
  • Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill.
  • Strain the mixture into the prepared shot glasses.
  • Add a slice of dehydrated lime or chili to the glass for presentation.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Adjust the spice level by using more or fewer chili slices, or by leaving the seeds intact for an extra kick.
  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy melons to create the puree.
  • If you don't have a muddler, the back of a spoon works as a substitute to mash the chili.
