Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Mezcal
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 oz Agave syrup
- 3 pieces Fresh jalapeño slices
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tsp Chili-lime seasoning (e.g., Tajín)
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 1 piece Orange slice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the serving glass. Run the lime wedge along the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into chili-lime seasoning to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, add the jalapeño slices and gently muddle them to release their heat and flavor.
Add the mezcal, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, agave syrup, and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes and strain the cocktail into the glass, leaving the jalapeño pieces behind.
Garnish the drink with a fresh orange slice and, if desired, an additional jalapeño slice for an extra fiery presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Long Hot Night!
