Method
Rim (optional)
Prepare rim
Combine coarse sea salt and chili powder on a small plate. Rub the lemon wedge around the outside rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into the salt-chili mix to coat. Set glass aside.
Cocktail
Muddle jalapeño
Place the two thin jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker. Add the agave syrup and gently muddle 2–3 times to release oils and heat. If you want more pronounced spice, muddle a bit longer or include seeds; for milder heat, remove seeds before slicing.
Combine spirits and citrus
To the shaker add the tequila, Del Maguey Vida mezcal, Faccia Brutto Centerbe, fresh lemon juice, and the dash of smoked chili tincture or hot sauce (if using).
Shake
Add a generous scoop or two of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Double-strain and serve
If you rimmed the glass, discard any excess ice from it. Double-strain the cocktail (using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the chilled rocks or coupe glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice for a neat coupe presentation.
Notes on balance & substitutions
Adjust agave syrup to taste if you prefer sweeter or drier. Swap reposado for blanco tequila for a brighter profile. If Faccia Brutto Centerbe is unavailable, use another herbal amaro/liqueur in similar volume but taste and adjust sweetness accordingly. Increase mezcal to 0.75 oz for more smoke-forward character.
