- 2 oz silver 100% agave tequila – I used Camarena.
- 3/4 oz maple chili syrup (recipe below).
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 dash Orange bitters
Syrup:
- 1:1 maple syrup to water. I did 1/4 cup water to a 1/4 cup maple syrup.
- Put it on the stove and heat it up. Stir until syrup and water are combined well. Turn it down.
- Cut 1 serrano pepper, get the seeds out, and then slice.
- Add a few slices at a time and let seep for a few minutes. I did this to taste. You want this to have a kick, but not be so spicy that it overpowers the syrup flavor. I ended up using almost all of the serrano, but this is up to you. Just keep adding, letting it seep, then tasting. Once it’s where you want on the spice level, take the peppers out! Also, note that I used almost an entire pepper for the small amount I made, so make sure to get enough peppers if you want to make a large batch of the syrup.
Preperation:
Put all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake.
Strain into a glass with some large ice cubes.
Garnish with a lime slice.
