A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Fill a clean coupe glass for each serving with ice and water to chill it while you mix. Empty it before pouring.
Measure into your shaker
Measure one serving of the liquid ingredients into the shaker and add the measured thin red chili slices. Keep the whole chili garnish out of the shaker.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer and a fine-mesh sieve to pour into the prepared coupe glass. Double-strain through a cocktail strainer and fine sieve to remove every chili piece. Rest the measured whole red chili on the rim. The listed thin slices give the exact house heat level.
