Ingredients
1.5 oz. Seedlip Notas de Agave
3 cucumber slices (muddled)
12 oz. spicy chile syrup
12 oz. lime juice
1 oz. pineapple juice
Spicy Chile Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 jalapeño or other spicy pepper, sliced
Pineapple-chile Salt
2 dried Guajillo peppers
2 dried Chile Arbol peppers
1/4 cup dehydrated pineapple powder
1/3 cup Kosher salt
Preparation
Rim glass with pineapple-chile salt, set aside. Cut three cucumber slices and place in cocktail shaker. Add lime juice and spicy syrup. Muddle the cucumber. Add Seedlip and pineapple juice. Add ice to cocktail shaker and shake. Pour cocktail into salt-rimmed glass and top off with ice. Peel a ribbon of cucumber and thread through a cocktail pick and set on top of cocktail. Garnish with a grilled pineapple spear.
To make the spicy chile syrup, add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir until all sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat. Let the mixture cool before straining into a food-safe container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To make the pineapple-chile salt, add the dried peppers to a spice grinder or blender and blend until almost a powder. Then gently pulse in pineapple powder and salt.
