Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz jalapeño-infused tequila
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 0.5 oz orange liqueur
  • 0.5 oz agave syrup
  • 2 clementines peeled
  • Tajín for rimming
  • Lime wedge for rimming

Instructions

  • Prepare the Glass: Run a lime wedge along the rim of a rocks glass, then dip it into Tajín to coat the edge. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.
  • Muddle the Clementines: In a shaker, add the peeled clementines and muddle well to release their juice.
  • Mix the Cocktail: Add jalapeño-infused tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and agave syrup to the shaker. Fill with ice and shake until well chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
  • Garnish: Optionally, add a clementine wedge or jalapeño slice for an extra pop of color and spice.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Adjust the heat level by increasing or decreasing the infusion time of the jalapeño in tequila.
  • Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer for a smoother texture.
  • If clementines aren’t available, mandarins or tangerines can be used as substitutes.
