Garnish:
Slice chilli pepper (warn drinker not to eat)
How to make:
Very lightly MUDDLE (just press) chilli pepper in base of shaker to release its flavour. (If you muddle too hard then the finished cocktail will be overly spicy.) Add other ingredients, SHAKE with ice and fine strain into ice-filled glass.
The agave syrup is easier to use if diluted with 3 parts syrup to 1 part water, in which case use 22.5ml / ¾oz of the diluted syrup.

About:
Created by Chris Ojeda at Soho House, West Hollywood, USA, this "House Tonic" is the best-selling cocktail across the Soho Houses around the world, and also has become a popular contemporary classic served in other bars. Similar in both and composition to Francesco Lafranconi's 2008 Amante Picante cocktail.
