Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 cilantro leaves
  • 2 jalapeño slices
  • 0.5 oz agave nectar
  • 1.5 oz blanco tequila
  • 0.75 oz lime juice
  • 2 oz soda water
  • Cilantro sprig for garnish

Instructions

  • In a shaker, combine agave nectar, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices. Gently muddle to release flavor.

  • Double-strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top with soda water and stir gently to combine.
  • Garnish with a cilantro sprig.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Use fewer jalapeño slices for a milder version, or include the seeds for extra heat.
  • Fresh-squeezed lime juice makes a noticeable difference in brightness.
  • Double-straining helps remove cilantro and pepper bits for a cleaner finish.
