Picante de la Casa

Muddle a small piece of chili pepper in the shaker tin to release its heat and flavor.

Hand clap the cilantro to release its aromatic oils, then drop the leaves into the shaker.

Add the tequila, agave syrup, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker.

Shake the mixture vigorously, then fine strain it into an ice-filled Old Fashioned glass.

Garnish by placing the top end of the chili pepper, stem upwards, on the drink.
