INGREDIENTS: 

1 1/2 fl oz Mezcal 

3/4 fl oz Triple Sec Liqueur 

3/4 fl oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

2 Jalapeño slices (seeds removed)

1/6 fl oz Agave Syrup

1/2 pinch salt 

1/2 teaspoon Matcha 

 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1)  Rim your glass with lime juice by cutting a 1/4" slit into a quarter of a lime and running it around the lip of the glass until the entire surface is evenly damp.  

 

2)  Place salt in a shallow bowl and run the rim of the glass through the salt.

 

3)  In a cocktail shaker, muddle jalapeño slices (leaving a handful for garnish), then add the ice.

 

4)  Combine remaining margarita ingredients. Shake for about 30 seconds, until the shaker feels cold in your hands. Using a strainer, pour the mixture directly into prepared glass, and garnish with jalapeños and a lime if desired. Enjoy!
