Servings 2 people

Ingredients

Cocktail

  • Half a jalapeño sliced and seeds removed (save the other half for garnish)
  • 2 ounces pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon agave
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 can club soda

Rim

  • 2 tbsp Tajin
  • 2 lime wedges

Garnish

  • 1 frozen jalapeño grated (freeze it whole and grate with a microplane!)
  • 2 lime wedges

Instructions

  • Start by rimming your glasses: rub the lime wedge around the edge and dip in Tajin until fully coated.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle the sliced jalapeño to release all the spicy goodness.
  • Add pickle juice, agave, lime juice, tequila, and ice. Shake it like you mean it for 15–20 seconds.
  • Strain into your Tajin-rimmed glasses over fresh ice.
  • Grate frozen jalapeño over each drink (trust me, it’s the extra touch that makes it).
  • Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy!
