keep it simple
Bartenders sweeten cocktails with simple syrup to avoid undissolved sugar crystals. Make this sweetener at home by heating equal parts white sugar and water with flavouring agents. Orange syrup can be made by replacing part of the water with orange juice, or let your favourite variety of chile pepper steep in the syrup for 15 minutes for chile syrup used in the El Choco Loco( p 29).

Layers of orange flavour make up this citrusy-sweet drink. Blood orange vodka provides a mellow, sweet base accentuated with an orange-infused syrup. Float a thin slice of orange in the drink for a garnish that imparts a tangy, fresh finish with just a hint of balancing bitterness.
