Step 1

Salt the rim of a lowball glass by rubbing a grapefruit wedge around the edge and dipping it onto a small plate of salt. Add a small handful of ice, 4 jalapeño slices and 1 or 2 slices of grapefruit to the glass. Set aside.

Step 2

In a cocktail shaker, add 5 jalapeño slices and the honey or simple syrup. Muddle the jalapeño and honey or simple syrup together to release the natural oils of the jalapeño. Add a handful of ice to the shaker. Add the grapefruit juice, lime juice and tequila. Shake vigorously until well chilled, then strain into the prepared glass and serve immediately. Makes 1 drink.
