Ingredients
¼cupkosher,or other high quality salt, for garnish, optional
3tsptajín seasoning,for garnish, optional
fresh lime wedges,for rimming the glasses and garnish
1jalapeño,sliced into rounds, use more or less, depending on how spicy you prefer it
1¼cupsaged tequila,such as reposado or añejo
3cupspineapple juice
½cuporange liqueur,such as triple sec
¼cuplime juice
Preparation
Combine the salt and Tajín in a small bowl or plate.
Next, take a glass (a cocktail or coupe glass will do, though a canning jar is just as easy) and rub the rim of it with a wedge of lime.
Dip the glass into the salt and give it a small turn or two to coat the rim.
Place the jalapeño and 3 tablespoons of the tequila into a pitcher.
Using a muddler (or a wooden spoon, or potato masher), muddle together the tequila and the jalapeño for about 10 to 15 seconds to infuse some of the tequila with the heat and flavor of the chili pepper.
Add the remaining tequila, pineapple juice, orange liqueur, and lime juice and stir together.
Stir together and pour into the prepared glasses straight or over ice.
