Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Habanero

    Slice the habanero pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor or leave them in for extra heat.

  2. 2

    Muddle Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the sliced habanero, tequila, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup. Muddle the habanero gently to release its flavor.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    On a small plate, add some salt. Rub the rim of the glass with the lime wedge and dip it into the salt to coat the rim.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, you can use a fine mesh strainer to catch any habanero bits.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge and a slice of habanero on the rim of the glass.
