Instructions

This cocktail is a daring blend of heat and zest, perfectly suited for those who dare to walk on the wild side. Inspired by the blazing temperatures of its namesake planet, Mercury Rising tantalizes the palate with a harmonious balance of spicy and sweet, underpinned by a refreshing citrus tang. Ingredients: - 2 oz Blanco tequila - 1 oz fresh lime juice - 1/2 oz agave nectar - 2-3 slices of fresh jalapeño (with seeds for extra heat) - A splash of soda water - Ice - Optional garnish: lime wheel and additional jalapeño slice Glass: - Highball glass Instructions: 1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the jalapeño slices with the agave nectar to release their fiery essence. 2. Fill the shaker with ice and pour in the Blanco tequila and fresh lime juice. 3. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring the jalapeño seeds and pulp are left behind. 5. Top off the cocktail with a splash of soda water for a refreshing fizz. 6. Garnish with a lime wheel and an additional jalapeño slice floating on top for a visually stunning presentation. The first sip of Mercury Rising begins with a smooth, agave-sweetened welcome that quickly gives way to a jolt of jalapeño heat, mimicking the unexpected extremes of its planetary counterpart. The tequila provides a robust foundation, while the lime's acidity cuts through the spice, leaving a thirst-quenching finish that invites you to brave another taste.
