This simple cocktail pairs tequila with pineapple juice and fresh jalapeño slices for a sweet-hot sip. Shake it with ice to chill quickly and muddle the jalapeño lightly to release its heat without overpowering the drink. It works well as a casual happy-hour pour or a quick party cocktail that needs no special equipment.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 4 ounces pineapple juice
  • 3 slices jalapeño, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cups ice cubes

Method

  1. Place 2 to 3 jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker and muddle gently for about 10 seconds to release the oils without pulverizing the seeds.

  2. Add the tequila, pineapple juice, and a handful of ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice and garnish with a jalapeño slice.
