Burn Notice: Spicy Cocktails

Fire ’n’ Ice

Delicia, 5215 N. College Ave., 317-925-0677

The rim of this
jalapeño-infused reposado tequila cocktail sparkles with chili powder and salt, and there’s a habanero
reduction in the mix. But the kicker? The oversized ice ball is studded with chiles, releasing even more heat as it melts.

A squirt of
Sriracha colors the Absolut Peppar and olive juice, taking the heat up a notch.

Spicy Margarita

Revolucion, 1132 Prospect St., 317-423-9490

Fountain Square’s hip taqueria dips the schooner rim of this classic margarita in chili-lime salt. That’s hot.

The Sancho

Spicy shows its sweet side in a martini glass of El Ultimo Agave añejo tequila shaken with agave nectar, pineapple juice, muddled jalapeño, orange liqueur, and
cilantro. A slice or two of jalapeño floats on top.
