Little Devil

Method

1. 01

   Chill the cocktail glass in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure it is thoroughly cold.

2. 02

   Prepare the rim decoration: evenly coat the outer rim of the glass with thick syrup, then invert the glass onto a plate of salt and gently rotate to ensure the salt adheres evenly, forming a complete salt rim.

3. 03

   In a shaker, add 25ml of tequila, 25ml of Cointreau, 20ml of grapefruit juice, and 15ml of lemon juice.

4. 04

   Add enough ice to the shaker (about 2/3 full), and securely close the shaker.

5. 05

   Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is frosted and feels cold.

6. 06

   Remove the chilled cocktail glass from the refrigerator and strain the cocktail into the glass using a strainer, being careful not to disturb the salt rim.

7. 07

   Using a bar spoon, gently drop 2 drops of pomegranate syrup onto the center of the cocktail surface, allowing it to naturally sink to the bottom, creating a blood-red gradient effect.

8. 08

   Rim decoration: thick syrup to create a salt rim (syrup acts as an adhesive, attaching fine salt evenly around the rim to form a 3-5mm wide salt ring);

9. 09

   Cocktail decoration: 2 drops of pomegranate syrup to create a blood-red gradient effect at the bottom of the glass
