Ingredients

2 oz blanco tequila
3 slices fresh jalapeño, sliced, seeded
3 oz fresh grapefruit juice
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz agave nectar
2 oz sparkling water (chilled)
as needed flaky salt mixed with chili powder (for rim)
as needed ice cubes
1 lime wedge
1 jalapeño slice (for garnish)

Instructions

1

Rub 1 lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass, then dip the rim into as needed flaky salt mixed with chili powder (for rim) to coat.
2

In a cocktail shaker, combine 3 slices sliced, seeded fresh jalapeño slices and 1/2 oz agave nectar. Muddle firmly to release the jalapeño's heat and oils.

4

Fill the rimmed glass with fresh as needed ice cubes. Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass to remove jalapeño seeds.
