Ingredients
For the Roasted-Jalapeño Purée:
2 large jalapeños
For the Cocktail:
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
6 bacon swizzle sticks
3 cups tomato juice or V8
1 1/2 cups mezcal
3/4 cup fresh juice from about 6 limes
1/4 cup Roasted-Jalapeño Purée
Directions
Place jalapeños in an oven-safe dish lined with tinfoil and broil, turning at 5-minute intervals, until all sides are blackened and charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool, then add to the jar of a blender. Blend until smooth.
On a small plate, combine salt and chili powder. Run a lime wedge around the rim of 6 tall beer or Collins glasses and coat edges with salt/chili mixture. Add a bacon swizzle stick to each glass. Fill glasses with ice.
In a large pitcher, combine tomato juice, mezcal, lime juice, and jalapeño purée. Stir to combine and pour into individual glasses.
