I first tried this drink at Fallon and Byrne bar in Dublin. I soon became a regular at the bar because of this one drink. An absolutely sublime cocktail which everybody who tries it loves! Takes a bit of prep, but trust me, it’s worth it, and something which goes down a storm on a warm summers night.

You’ll need

• 2 shots Jalapeño infused Tequilla (see below)
• 1 shot lime juice (fresh)
• 3-4 Rasberries
• 0.5 shot Monin Sugar Syrup (1 shot normal sugar syrup)
• 0.75 shot Monin Passionfruit syrup
• Passionfruit seeds (optional)

The key to this recipe is the balance between the heat from the Jalapeños and the sweetness from the syrups. But it works so well.

Start with putting a 3 Jalapeños in white tequilla (I use Sauza). Leave the Jalapeños in for about 3 days and then take them out. I actually just leave them in there, it adds a great heat to the tequilla!

Method

1. In a boston shaker add tequilla and lime juice and give a quick stir
2. Add the rasberries and lightly muddle until they lose their shape
3. Add the syrups and stir
4. Add about 4-5 ice cubes. If you can use cracked ice, then even better. Shake vigourously in the boston shaker for about 10-20 seconds
5. Pour contents into a heavy glass and add the passionfruit seeds to the top (if you have them)

The cocktail should have a bright red / pink hue to it. This is perfect.

Enjoy 🙂
