We love it paired with a little bit of heat and agave syrup for a touch of sweetness.

Muddle with a wooden spoon handle or a muddling tool, pressing on the jalapeno to release its flavor.

Add mezcal, lime juice, triple sec and salt.

Strain the mixture evenly into 2 ice-filled rocks glasses.

Garnish with lime wedges and jalapeno slices, if desired.
