How to Make Mendocino Cocktail

  1. Muddle the jalapeño pepper gently in the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release its oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the drink bitter.
  2. Add the bourbon, lime juice, agave nectar, and ice to the cocktail shaker.
  3. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  5. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a whole jalapeño pepper (optional) for an extra kick.
  6. Enjoy responsibly!
