Pliny’s Tonic From Anvil Bar & Refuge

Muddle the cucumber and mint in a shaker tin, then add the chili tincture, lime juice, and gin. Add ice and shake to chill, then fine-strain into a coupe and garnish.

Chili Tincture: Chop equal parts habanero and serrano peppers. Pack them tightly into whatever sized glass vessel you have on hand and top with vodka, just to barely cover the chilis. Let sit for 1 month. Strain the chilis out before use.
