Magic Hour
The lime slice used to rim the glass AND the two slices of Lombok chili pepper used in the mixing will serve well as very colorful garnish.
Slice the long way a southeast Asian long 'Lombok' mild red chili pepper, removing all seeds and stem. Add to a mixing glass of ice. Add the lime juice and vodka and pineapple liqueur and stir well. Rim a chilled Old-Fashioned glass with a slice of juicy lime. Strain in the cocktail. Note: the liqueur provides sufficient sweetness; anything like sugar on the rim would be overkill. I used Bali Moon Pineapple Liqueur which does not appear on Diffords list yet. The Lombok is a mild and moist fresh chili which actually has a small bite of capsis to it; not as sharp as a jalapeno. This is a delightfully light and clean drink thanks to the few ingredients and acidity of the lime juice. Ingredients look beautiful. Please forgive terrible glass. I am open to suggestions for a better vessel!
