Sweet and Chili

**Warning- start with a little bit of chili first because each chili’s level of spiciness varies. Continue to add more chilies to your liking.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Serrano or Thai chili (or adjust amount to your heat preference)
  • 1/2 ounce (15ml) simple syrup
  • 1 1/2 ounces (45ml) Gin or Vodka
  • 2 ounces (60ml) peach, nectarine, or pineapple juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Clean the chili and remove the seeds. In a shaker, muddle the chili with simply syrup.
  2. Add gin (or vodka) and juice of choice (peach, nectarine, or pineapple) to the shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
  3. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish if desired. For a sweeter treat, sugar the rim before pouring cocktail.
