Ingredients
- 1 jalapeño
- 2 cups blanco tequila or mezcal
Instructions
- Thinly slice the jalapeño. (Remove the seeds if you prefer less spice.)
- Place jalapeños in the bottom of a 16-ounce mason jar. Top with tequila and cover with lid. Let sit 1-2 days. (The longer it sits, the spicier it gets.)
- Remove jalapeño slices with a slotted spoon or strainer, and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use mezcal for a smokier flavor, and tequila for a more crisp finish.
