Fuego Manzana No.2
Ingredients
- 2 slice Red chili pepper (jalapeño/fresno chili 10,000 SHU) deseeded
- 2 oz José Cuervo Tradicional Reposado
- 1⁄2 oz Apple Schnapps liqueur
- 1 oz Apple juice/apple cider
- 1⁄2 oz Lime juice
- 1⁄6 oz Sugar syrup 'rich'
Method
Glassware:
Serve in a Martini glass
Method:
Lightly MUDDLE (just press) chilli pepper in base of shaker to release its flavour. (If you muddle hard then the finished cocktail will be overly spicy). Add other ingredients, SHAKE with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
History:
Created by Danny Smith at Che, London, England, initially using rum instead of tequila. 'Fuego Manzana' is Spanish for Fire Apple.
Review:
A hint of chilli heat adds interest to an Apple Margarita, creating a full flavoured contemporary classic.
