Ingredients
-
2 ounces
mezcal (I used Fidencio Clásico)
-
2 ounces
gin (I used Junipero)
-
1.5 ounces
lime juice
-
0.75 ounces
agave nectar
-
0.5 ounces
green Chartreuse

1
jalapeño pepper, seeds, stem, and ribs removed

1 dash
(garnish) hot sauce, whatever you have in your bag
Directions
-
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the pepper with agave nectar and lime juice until it's somewhat pulpy.
-
Add the remaining ingredients except for hot sauce, plus enough ice to stack to the surface of the liquid, and shake until well chilled (about 20 seconds).
-
Strain (through a fine strainer if you have one, to catch the pepper bits) into a chilled collins glass filled with ice.
-
Garnish with a shake of hot sauce.
