Green Gloves From Mayahuel Recipe
- 2 jalapeno peppers, sliced in half
- 8 1/2 ounces blanco tequila, such as Pueblo Viejo Blanco
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup raw or turbinado sugar
- 1 1/2 ounces jalapeno-infused tequila
- 1/2 ounce rich sugar syrup
- 1/2 ounce celery juice (from about 1 stalk celery)
- 1/4 ounce Green Chartreuse
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice from 1 to 2 limes
- Garnish: Pinch of smoked salt (see note)
- Scrape membranes and seeds from jalapeno peppers, discarding green exterior. Add seeds and membranes to a large mason jar and top with tequila. Let tequila infuse for 9 minutes, then taste for spice level and let steep up to 6 minutes more. Steeping time will depend on the heat of your peppers. Strain to remove pepper seeds and membranes and reseal.
- Mix hot water into sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool before using.
- Combine spicy tequila, cane syrup, celery juice and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker with ice and shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into coupe glass and serve with a pinch of smoked salt on top.
