3
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled.

Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass to remove chili seeds and ice shards.
5
Garnish with a whole red chili pepper on the rim or resting across the glass.

From the Bartender

Muddling the chili briefly rather than aggressively is key - you want infused heat, not a bitter, vegetal mess. Taste the chili before using; heat levels vary enormously between individual peppers.
