The picante is a bright and lively cocktail that combines tequila, fresh lime and a subtle heat from green chilli. The coriander adds a fresh herbal lift, making the drink feel festive and crisp without being too strong.
60 ml tequila 30 ml lime juice 20 ml agave or simple syrup 1 slice green chilli / jalapeno A few coriander leaves
Lightly muddle the chilli and coriander in a shaker to release flavour.
Add tequila, lime juice, syrup and a handful of ice.
Shake well until the mixture turns cold.
Strain into a glass and garnish with a thin chilli slice.
