Review

Unusually, a stirred (not shaken) drink with citrus, and depending on your jalapeños your lips could be merely warmed or scorched. Alternatively, in a quest for ease and consistency, omit the jalapeños from your tequila and omit the 5ml (1/6oz) cane sugar syrup and replace with 10ml chili liqueur. You may also consider shaking rather than stirring!
