Instructions
- On a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, arrange slices of limes and clementines and sprinkle them with sugar and broil them just until sugar crystalizes and the slices are charred.
- On a grill pan, char the lime halves until lightly charred.
- In a shallow dish, combine salt and sugar. Moisten two cocktail glasses with a lime and rim the glasses with the salt-sugar mixture. Fill glasses with ice and set aside.
- Muddle charred lime and jalapeño in a cocktail shaker.
- Add tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and clementine juice and fill with ice. Shake cocktail shaker until frosted.
- Strain drink into prepared glasses and garnish with broiled lime and clementine slices, if using.
Notes
- As for the tequila, I recommend Exotico reposado. This tequila has hints of spices, with a finish of oak and pairs perfectly with all the smoky flavors in this cocktail.
