The ’90s classic gets some heat.

In this cocktail inspired by the French Martini, bartender Joey Smith subs in pomegranate juice for the raspberry liqueur, spices it up with jalapeño, and adds aquafaba for a velvety mouthfeel.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 oz. pomegranate juice
3/4 oz. pineapple juice
3/4 oz. aquafaba
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/4 oz. agave syrup
2 slices of jalapeño (or 3 dashes Bitterman's Hellfire Bitters)

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:cocktail or coupe
Garnish:raspberry powder or a fresh raspberry

Preparation

If using jalapeño slices, and them to a mixing tin and muddle. Add the ingredients and shake. Add ice and shake again to chill. Strain into a chilled glass. Garnish.
