Directions
- 1
Combine the kosher salt and chili powder on a small plate, mixing thoroughly to create the spiced rim.
- 2
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled coupe or Margarita glass, then dip the rim into the chili-salt mixture, twisting gently until evenly coated.
- 3
In a cocktail shaker, muddle two thin slices of jalapeño with the agave nectar for about 15 seconds to release its oils and heat.
- 4
Add the blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, Midori melon liqueur, and blue curaçao to the shaker.
- 5
Fill the shaker generously with ice cubes, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is thoroughly frosted.
- 6
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared, chili-salted glass, ensuring no muddled jalapeño bits are present.
- 7
Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and a thin slice of jalapeño, floating decoratively on the surface, ready for a heroic (or villainous) sip.
