the red thai 2 oz unsweetened pineapple juice • 1 1/2 oz proof vodka • 1 oz lime juice • lime wedge for garnish • club soda • sriracha hot sauce • 2 tbsp sugar • 1/2 tsp chili powder


Combine the sugar and chili powder on a plate. Using a lime wedge, line the edge of a cocktail glass with lime juice. Turn the glass upside down into the sugar & chili powder and gently turn a little to coat the rim of the glass. Combine the pineapple juice, proof vodka, one squirt sriracha and lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously. Add a splash of club soda to the shaker and gently pour through the strainer into your prepared cocktail glass. Garnish the glass with a lime wedge and hot pepper.
