    Ended up adjusting the “spicy with tequila” as I had neither mint nor agave sweetener.

    2oz tequila

    1 oz lime juice

    1/2 oz Chartreuse

    1/2 oz Giffard Blue Curacao (because I didn’t want to muddy the color but wanted a little sweet and citrus)

    3 spoonfuls complex syrup (a reduced infusion with cinnamon & citrus zest)

    2 dropperful of my habanero tincture

    Not sure it kept with the spirit of the original recipe, was closer to a spicy margarita and the chartreuse kind of got lost. If doing again (not tonight - it was for sure a one and done) would do less lime, more Chartreuse, no sweetener, maybe a half ounce Ancho Reyes Verde. May try that for the rainbow day as it was certainly a beautiful color.
