- 4-6 ounces ginger beer
- jalapeño slices for garnish
- lime wedge for garnish

- Add the jalapeño tequila and lime juice. Top with ginger beer.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and/or jalapeño slices.
Notes
In lieu of jalapeño tequila, you can use blanco tequila and a jalapeno simple syrup. Add 1 ounce of jalapeño simple syrup with the lime juice and tequila. Stir before adding the ginger beer.
For a milder cocktail, use a less spicy ginger beer like Fever-Tree or Bundaberg.
For an even spicier cocktail, try one of these options:
- Use a super spicy ginger beer. Try Maine Root or Reed's Strongest.
- Make your jalapeño tequila spicier. Try adding habanero or serrano peppers to make a spicier tequila infusion. (Same goes if you're using the jalapeño syrup method.)
- Add spicy bitters. Add a few drops of spicy bitters to the top of the finished cocktail. I love the Infuse Tres Amigos Bitters. You could also try out Hella Smoked Chili Bitters or Scrappy's Firewater Tincture.
- Add a sprinkle of black pepper. Crack some black pepper on top of your cocktail for an extra kick.
