How to Make Burning Mandarin Martini

  1. Gently muddle one thin slice of serrano pepper in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice, 0.75 ounce of fresh mandarin orange juice, 0.5 ounce of simple syrup, and 0.5 ounce of cranberry juice to the shaker.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice.
  4. Securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
  5. Rub an orange wedge around the rim of a chilled on-the-rocks glass and dip the rim into a shallow dish of sugar.
  6. Double strain the cocktail into the sugared glass (using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer for a smoother texture).
  7. Coat the remaining serrano pepper slice with sugar.
  8. Carefully float the sugared serrano pepper slice on top of the cocktail as a garnish.
