- 1 ounce Triple sec
- 1 ounce Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 ounce Agave syrup
- 1 slice Fresh jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 Lime wedge

Instructions
Slice a jalapeño and take one slice to use for the cocktail.
Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of a chilled margarita glass.
Spread kosher salt onto a small plate and dip the rim of the glass into the salt, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the jalapeño slice, tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup.
Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the jalapeño slice, releasing its oils and flavor into the mixture.
Fill the shaker with ice cubes and place the lid on securely.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed and chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass over fresh ice.
Garnish with an additional lime wedge or jalapeño slice if desired.
