Ingredients

• 1 lime wedge

• 1 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajín®)

• 2 cups ice, or as needed

Directions

1. Prepare the Glass: Sprinkle chili-lime seasoning onto a plate. Moisten the rim of a glass with the lime wedge and press it into the seasoning to coat. Fill the glass with ice.

2. Muddle Jalapeño: In a cocktail shaker, combine the silver tequila and jalapeño slices. Use a muddler to crush the peppers, releasing their oils and heat.

3. Mix the Drink: Add the mango nectar, triple sec, lime juice, and ice to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted, about 10 to 15 seconds.

4. Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with additional jalapeño slices or a lime wedge if desired.
