Fire & Brimstone

Start with these components prepared in advance: Cointreau L'Unique triple sec liqueur (infused with Earl Grey tea).

Pre-chill an Old Fashioned glass to enhance the cocktail's presentation.

Prepare a lemon zest twist for garnish and set aside.

Muddle the fine slices of deseeded red chili pepper in the base of a shaker to release their heat and flavor.

Add the Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal, Cointreau L'Unique infused with Earl Grey tea, freshly squeezed lemon juice, a couple of dashes of Angostura Orange Bitters, and agave syrup into the shaker.

Shake vigorously with ice to chill and combine the ingredients.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled Old Fashioned glass filled with fresh ice.

Express the lemon zest twist over the cocktail to release its oils, then use it as a garnish.
