Blood Orange Spicy Margarita

A whole chopped bird’s eye chilli goes into the shaker with blood orange juice, tequila and a simple syrup.

A bit of bright red pul biber with sea salt around the rim, and suddenly my Elephant & Castle kitchen turns into a holiday destination.

Serves 1.

• 2 shots of tequila

• 2 shots of blood orange juice

• 1 shot of simple syrup (1:1 ratio of water and caster sugar, heated to dissolve and cooled)

• 1 bird's eye chilli

• 1 slice blood orange, to serve

• pul biber

• sea salt

• ice

1. Tip pul biber and sea salt onto a plate. Rub the slice of orange gently around the rim of a martini glass or coupe, and dip the rim into the pul biber salt.

2. Chop the chilli.

3. Add it to a cocktail shaker with the other ingredients (apart from the orange slice).

4. Shake it well and strain into the glass.

5. Add the blood orange slice and enjoy!
