Ingredients

1 servings

1 1/2 oz mezcal (or tequila)
3/4 oz Drambuie
3 dashes orange bitters
1 slice jalapeño* optional
ice
1 orange peel

Instructions

Add mezcal, Drambuie, orange bitters, and jalapeño slice (if using) to a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or a spoon to slightly muddle the jalapeño.
Add a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker, and stir or shake vigorously for 20 seconds or until the mixture is completely chilled.
Run the orange peel around the rim of the glass. Then give it a twist to express the oils, and place it in the glass. Strain the chilled cocktail mixture on top of the orange peel.
Serve immediately.
