Ingredients

  • 45mLAgave Australis Silver
  • 15mLCointreau or other dry orange liqueur
  • 30mLFresh lime juice
  • 15mLAgave syrup
  • 2 dashesChocolate bitters
  • 2 dashesMango-habanero hot sauce

Garnish

Half chilli-salt rim · Dehydrated lime wheel · Dehydrated chilli

If you’re making it at home

Any fruit-forward habanero sauce works. Start with one dash, taste, then add the second.

Method

  1. Rim half the coupette with chilli salt and chill it.
  2. Combine everything in a shaker with ice.
  3. Shake hard for ten to twelve seconds.
  4. Double strain into the chilled glass.

Why Silver

Chilli sits on top of Silver's peppery finish rather than fighting it, and the chocolate bitters give the heat somewhere darker to land.
