Preparation
Step 1
*Jalapeno infused mezcal: place 1 cup of mezcal in a glass container. Cut 1 jalapeno pepper in half and place it in container with mezcal. Cover and let it sit. Infusing time varies depending on desired taste: 4 hours (mild), 8 hours (spicy), up to 2 days (hot!).
To make a big batch of cocktail (serves 4 ish) : in a jug place 1 cup of jalapeno infused mezcal, 2 cups of ginger beer, lime juice, and sweeten to taste with agave nectar (usually 2 tablespoons does the trick). Gently stir.
Grab your moscow mule glasses (or any glass if you don’t have these copper beauties), fill them up with ice and pour ½ cup of cocktail mix in each glass. Top with additional ginger beer if needed. Garnish with jalapeno slice, lemon wedge, and gooseberry. Pretty!
Tip: I have tried this with a pinch of salt on top and it tasted great! You can give it a go if you’re feeling adventurous.
