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. Like its city namesake, the finished cocktail is sophisticated, exotic, and a little dangerous. 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 |
Directions:
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.
2. Note: Aleppo pepper adds more savoriness than outright heat. For a spicier cocktail, substitute cayenne, ancho, or chipotle powder for Aleppo pepper.
