Little Birdie Jalapeño Cocktail

A little birdie told us you're ready for some spicy summer sipping.

Say that five times fast, then grab some mezcal and Yellowbird Jalapeño Hot Sauce to get going on this tropical-inspired cocktail.

Created in collaboration with Hotel ZaZa for brunch-goers and poolside-sippers, this smoky, spicy, and surprisingly refreshing cocktail brings all the summer vibes.

Prep Time: 5 min

Servings: 1

We heard you’re ready for some serious summer vibes. Created in collaboration with Hotel ZaZa for brunch-goers and poolside-sippers, we’re giving you the recipe to make this smoky, spicy, and surprisingly refreshing cocktail at home. 

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • .75 oz mezcal
  • .75 oz silver/blanco tequila
  • 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • .5 oz passion fruit syrup (we like Liber & Co)
  • 1 squeeze of Yellowbird Jalapeño Hot Sauce (measure with your heart for this one, but a teaspoon is a good starting point)
  • Jalapeño coin (for garnish, if you want to get fancy with it)
  • Salt (for the rim)
  • Ice (ice, baby)

Add all liquids to a cocktail shaker. Shake it like nobody’s watching, then strain over ice into a salt-rimmed rocks glass. Add jalapeño coin for garnish.
