Method

Step 1

Using the knife, cut two lime wedges and use one to rub along the rim of the glass. Roll the rim in salt (either half or all of the rim).

Step 2

Muddle the jalapeno slice in the cocktail shaker then fill the shaker with ice.

Step 3

Measuring with the jigger, add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice into the shaker. Shake the mixture until the surface of the shaker feels chilled.

Step 4

Use the cocktail strainer to strain the mixture into the rocks glass, being careful not to get any salt into the drink. Place the remaining lime wedge onto the top of the drink to garnish. And enjoy!
