CONTAINS RAW EGGS: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila, such as Don Julio Blanco
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce agave nectar
• 1 pasteurized egg white
• 1 slice jalapeno with 2 or 3 seeds
• Lime wedge, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Put the tequila, lime juice, agave, egg white and jalapeno in a cocktail shaker and muddle the jalapeno. Add large ice cubes, shake vigorously and single-strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.
