- Muddle Jalapeño: In a shaker, gently muddle 2-3 slices of fresh jalapeño to release the heat. Adjust the number of slices depending on your spice preference.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and fresh pineapple juice to the shaker with the muddled jalapeño.
- Shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Strain: Double strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. To double strain, first strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any jalapeño seeds and pineapple pulp, then pour it into the glass.
