  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon for rimming the glass
  • 1 teaspoon sugar for rimming the glass

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Make the habanero ginger simple syrup by simmering sliced habanero, fresh ginger, sugar, and water, then straining once cooled.
  • Adjust the heat level by using more or less habanero in the syrup.
  • For extra spice, sprinkle a dash of cayenne on top of the garnish.
