If you’re making it at home
Coriander stems carry more flavour than the leaves. If you dislike coriander, three basil leaves make a different but balanced drink.
Method
- Rim half the coupette with chilli salt and chill it.
- Lightly muddle the coriander and chilli in the base of the shaker. Bruise, do not pulverise.
- Add the remaining ingredients and ice, and shake hard.
- Double strain into the chilled glass.
Why Silver
Silver has a green, herbal top note that coriander reads as part of the same plant. The heat here is fresh chilli, so it arrives late and clean instead of sitting on the palate.
