Serve in an Old-fashioned glass
3⁄4 oz | Jalapeño infused blanco tequila |
3⁄4 oz | Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal |
1⁄2 oz | Pineapple juice |
1⁄2 oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
1⁄4 oz | Monin Vanilla Syrup |
1⁄6 oz | Clément Sirop de Canne |
Infuse 5 diced medium-sized jalapeños (with seeds removed) in 700ml blanco tequila (in 750ml to litre-sized bottle/jar) for 10 minutes. Strain to remove jalapeños, seal and store refrigerated for up to 3 months.
Unusually, a stirred (not shaken) drink with citrus, and depending on your jalapeños your lips could be merely warmed or scorched. Alternatively, in a quest for ease and consistency, omit the jalapeños from your tequila and omit the 5ml (1/6oz) cane sugar syrup and replace with 10ml chili liqueur. You may also consider shaking rather than stirring!
