Ingredients
Method
  1. 1

    Combine bourbon, fresh pineapple juice, fresh lemon juice, and cayenne simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.

    💡 A good shake ensures proper dilution and chill, which is crucial for sours.

  3. 3

    Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

  4. 4

    Garnish with a pineapple leaf and a very light dash of cayenne pepper on top for visual appeal and an extra aroma.

    💡 Use a fine mesh strainer for a cleaner garnish sprinkle.

Bartender's Tip

🍸 For an even spicier kick, infuse your simple syrup with a dried chili pepper for a few hours before mixing.

Why It Works

The rich, vanilla notes of bourbon are elevated by the bright, tangy sweetness of pineapple and lemon. A touch of cayenne simple syrup adds a subtle, intriguing heat that enhances the overall flavor experience without overpowering.
