Tio Siete, tequila cocktail

Here’s a weekend brunch drink incorporating a little peppery heat, a dose of seasonal citrus, some tequila, and an English gin-based, herb-infused “Cup.” The jalapeno pepper used here is on mid to higher heat scale. This drink should strike the right note with huevos de ranchero. Serves 6.

1 jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded and membrane removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
