Step 1

Start by making the chilli syrup. Put the sliced red chilli into a small saucepan and add the caster sugar and 50ml/2fl oz water. Heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is simmering. Turn off the heat and leave to cool completely. If you like you can cover it and store in the fridge overnight.

Step 2

Strain the mixture into a clean jug or glass and discard the chilli pieces.

Step 3

When you’re read to make the cocktail, rub a wedge of lime around the rims of 2 tumblers. Sprinkle the chilli-lime seasoning onto a small plate or saucer then dip the glasses into the salt so it sticks to the rim. Set aside.

Step 4

Pour the tequila, triple sec, chilli syrup, lemon and lime juices into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake well.

Step 5

Fill your prepared glasses with fresh ice cubes then strain the cocktail into your prepared glasses. Garnish with a whole chilli or slices.
