I added 1/2 Thai chile and a pinch of salt to muddle with the red pepper. Gave it the savory, spicy kick that I was craving.

Nice. The basil comes through first and the red pepper is in the aftertaste. I added a basil leaf to the garnish. I think the green contrasts nicely with the pepper.

Sounds delicious!! Question: is the coconut water the neutral/clear variant? Or does it need to have the sweet coconutty flavour?

Clear coconut water such as Vita Coco Natural Coconut Water.

Sounds like it might be pretty tasty, but a clarification on the ingredients might be helpful. I’m not sure about what 1/2 fresh coconut water is, or how big a 1/4 sprig of syrup might be.

Thanks for pointing out. "Fresh" and "sprig" should have been inputted as "shot" when I uploaded to our CMS. Now fixed. It's been over a decade since I last made this cocktail, I need to remember to try again when I have red pepper to hand.
