Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Habanero Infusion

    Slice the habanero pepper in half and remove the seeds for less heat, if desired. Muddle the pepper in the shaker to release its oils.

    In a cocktail shaker, add the muddled habanero, tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

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

Rim Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    Rub the rim of a chilled glass with a lime wedge to moisten it, then dip the rim into the coarse sea salt to coat.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wheel and a slice of habanero for an extra kick.
