A1A Tequila Cocktail

Tequila Cocktail

Jalapeños lend just the right amount of heat to this cocktail.

The sweet heat of jalapeño runs through this slightly savory tequila cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. amontillado sherry
  • 1 oz. jalapeño-infused blanco tequila
  • ½ oz. fresh celery juice
  • ¾ oz. fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz. rich cane syrup (2:1)
  • Tools:shaker, strainer, fine strainer
  • Glass:Nick & Nora
  • Garnish:half salt rim, celery ribbon

Preparation

Prepare a Nick & Nora glass by salting half the rim. In a shaker, combine all the ingredients with ice and shake to chill. Double strain into the prepared glass and garnish.

Jalapeño-Infused Tequila: Scrape out the seeds and pith from 4 fresh jalapeño peppers and add to one bottle of blanco tequila. Take one of the hollowed-out jalapeños and cut in half, then add half to the infusion. Discard the other 3½ hollowed-out jalapeños. Checking every few minutes, let the infusion stand for at least 20 minutes and taste before straining.
