Adapted from Pichet Ong's P*ONG restaurant in New York. Aleppo pepper is a Syrian red pepper with a bit of smokiness and just a faint touch of heat.

Note:

Aleppo pepper adds more savoriness than outright heat. For a spicier cocktail, substitute cayenne, ancho, or chipotle powder for Aleppo pepper.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    1 drink

Ingredients

2 ounces reposado tequila
2 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
Pinch of Maldon salt
Pinch of Aleppo pepper
1 lime

Preparation

  1. Combine the tequila, pineapple juice, and ginger liqueur in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on top. With a hand grater, grate lime zest over the top of the drink. Tap the grater lightly to release the zest and oil into the drink.
