Infuse the Agave Spirit Alternative: Start by pouring the Ritual Agave Spirit Alternative over sliced jalapeño and basil in a cocktail shaker. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. The longer you let it infuse, the spicier it gets. For a milder spice, use a quarter of the jalapeño without seeds; for a mid-range kick, keep the seeds. Adjust based on your heat preference.
Mix the Ingredients: After infusing, add fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and ice to the shaker. Shake vigorously to blend and chill the ingredients.
Prepare the Glass: Rim your glass with Tajin or Valentina seasoning for a flavorful twist. This step adds a zesty, spicy finish and enhances the drink's presentation.
Serve and Garnish: Strain the mixture into the glass over fresh ice. For the final touch, garnish with additional jalapeño slices and a basil leaf.
