crimes of passion

1 1/2 oz Tequila (Olmeca Altos)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Del Maguey Vida)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/4 oz Honey Syrup

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with cayenne powder.Two Mondays ago, I decided to utilize the Bartender's Choice app for the evening's libation and came across Hunter Orahood's Crimes of Passion that he crafted at Attaboy in 2018. Overall, the recipe appeared to me like a cross between the Red Grasshopper (or Dahlia's Revenge) as an agave Sour garnished with cayenne powder and Don's Special Daiquiri with its combination of lime, passion fruit, and honey. Once prepared, the Crimes of Passion showcased an agave and pepper spice aroma with a hint of smoke. Next, lime and tropical notes on the sip gave way to smoky agave, honey, and passion fruit flavors on the swallow which increased in spiciness over time.
