Tequila Mockingjay

Yield: 1 serving

1½ ounces tequila

¾ ounce fresh lime juice

1 ounce blueberry simple syrup, see notes

2 dashes jalapeño tincture, see notes

 Notes: To make blueberry simple syrup, stir together 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar in a small pan over medium heat until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain into a jar, pushing gently on the pulp to extract juice. Pushing too hard will make it cloudy.

• To make jalapeño tincture, place 4 to 5 cut-up jalapeños and 1 (750ml) bottle of grain alcohol, such as Everclear, in a jar. Cover and allow to sit a couple of days until the liquid turns bright green. Strain to remove the jalapeños.

Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake vigorously and strain into an old-fashioned glass with ice.
