Habanero-Infused Tequila

Ingredients:

• Three habanero peppers
• 750 ml of agave tequila

Dice and slice the habanero, then mix into the tequila. Set aside for several hours so the peppers can infuse their spicy flavor into the tequila. At minimum, three hours. At most, twenty-four. Test until it reaches the preferred level of hotness. When done, strain the tequila from the peppers, put it into a bottle, and enjoy.

The Michelada

Ingredients

• Mexican Beer

• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce

• 3/4 cups of tomato juice
• Salt and chili for cup rim
• Cilantro for garnish

Mix the non-alcoholic liquid ingredients together, then pour into a pitcher. Refrigerate it for a little. Mix to your preferred ratio between beer and mixture.

You can add the salt and chili to the rim of the cup, using a cut lime and its juice to function as an adhesive. Simply rub the lime along the rim of the cup, then press it down on a plate dusted by salt and chili.

After that, mix the drink into a cup with ice, and add beer. Garnish, and enjoy.

Smokey Spicy Lemon Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz of vodka, tequila, or rum
• 1.5 oz of lemon juice
• 1 oz of chipotle honey simple syrup
• Dried chili for garnish

To start, you need to brew the chipotle honey simple syrup. To produce it, mix 1 teaspoon of chipotle chili powder, 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer in a small pan, mixing regularly to keep it smooth. Once mixed, pour into a small container, and put it in the fridge for two weeks.

It takes a little while, but trust me, it is worth it.

Next, combine all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake well. Over thirty seconds should be good. Once good, pour it in your ice-filled glass, garnish with dried chili, and serve.

• 1/2 mango, peeled and sliced
• 1 lime
• Mint leaves
• 3 jalapeno slices (seeds included)

Puree the mango slices in a food processor. Cut your lime into two pieces, and juice one of the halves into the pureed mango. Process the mix until its nice and smooth.

Juice the second half of the lime into a shaker, while mixing in your mint leaves, jalapeno, and sugar. Once you've let that sit a little, add in your mango and rum. Shake it up a little. Pour it straight into a glass with ice, while topping it off with some water. Stir it up, and serve.
