Recipe
First, prepare your glasses. Mix the salt, sugar and chili on a plate. Run a lime wedge around the outer top edge of your glasses, then roll the edges in the salt mixture.
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake until combined and the cocktail shaker is cold to touch. *If using jalapeno, the longer you shake the spicier it will become.
Strain the mixture into your prepared glasses. Garnish the drinks with a small wedge of grapefruit or lime.
