Description
A vibrant and fiery tequila shot blending the sweetness of pineapple with a thrilling kick of chili.
Ingredients
2 oz (60ml) blanco tequila
3 oz (90ml) fresh pineapple juice
1 oz (30ml) fresh lime juice
0.5 oz (15ml) simple syrup (or to taste)
3-4 thin slices of jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat)
Chili-lime salt (e.g., TajÃn) for rimming
Pineapple wedges or lime wheels for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your shot glasses by moistening the rims with a lime wedge, then dipping them into chili-lime salt to create an even coating. Set aside.
Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the jalapeño slices to release their flavor and spice.
Step 3: Add the blanco tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Step 4: Fill the shaker with ice, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Step 5: Double strain the mixture into the prepared shot glasses, ensuring no jalapeño bits enter the shots.
Step 6: Garnish each shot with a small pineapple wedge or a thin slice of jalapeño, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
Notes
For a milder shot, remove the seeds from the jalapeño slices before muddling. For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the shaker or an extra pinch of chili powder to the rim salt. You can prepare the mixture ahead of time (without ice) and store it in the fridge, then shake with ice just before serving.
