  • 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup
  • 34 dashes Scrappy’s Firewater bitters (or more to taste).

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.


Notes

If you don’t have spicy bitters you can use fresh jalapeno slices or 2-3 dashes Tobasco.
