I harvested my bumper crop of Cayenne peppers just before our first hard frost of the season, and I thought they'd make a damn fine cocktail garnish, so here's my South-of-the-Border riff on the classic Aku Aku Lapu from the Bum's Intoxica!:

1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz. Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Falernum (Fee Bros.)
1 oz. Appleton V/X Rum
1 oz. Presidente Mexican Brandy
1 oz. Patrón Silver Tequila
1 oz. Pisco Capel Reservado

Shake with crushed ice, and pour into a large snifter. Fill with more crushed ice. Garnish with a large Cayenne pepper speared and cracked to allow the spicy aroma to permeate the drink.
