title: Magic Hour
garnish: The lime slice used to rim the glass AND the two slices of Lombok chili pepper used in the mixing will serve well as very colorful garnish.
recipe: Slice the long way a southeast Asian long 'Lombok' mild red chili pepper, removing all seeds and stem. Add to a mixing glass of ice. Add the lime juice and vodka and pineapple liqueur and stir well. Rim a chilled Old-Fashioned glass with a slice of juicy lime. Strain in the cocktail. Note: the liqueur provides sufficient sweetness; anything like sugar on the rim would be overkill. I used Bali Moon Pineapple Liqueur which does not appear on Diffords list yet. The Lombok is a mild and moist fresh chili which actually has a small bite of capsis to it; not as sharp as a jalapeno. This is a delightfully light and clean drink thanks to the few ingredients and acidity of the lime juice. Ingredients look beautiful. Please forgive terrible glass. I am open to suggestions for a better vessel!
ingredients: [['3 cl', 'De Kuyper Pineapple liqueur'], ['0.75 cl', 'Lime juice (freshly squeezed)'], ['4.5 cl', 'Ketel One Citroen Vodka']]
