    Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim into Tajín, then fill the glass with fresh ice

  2. 2

    Place the thin jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker and gently muddle to release oils without pulverizing the pepper

  3. 3

    Add tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice and agave syrup to the shaker, fill with ice and shake vigorously until well chilled

  4. 4

    Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice using a fine mesh strainer to catch seeds and pulp

    Float or rest a thin jalapeño slice on the surface as garnish and serve immediately
