In celebration of World Cocktail Day on 13 May, The Lab treats us to the recipe for its bold, spicy and citrusy signature cocktail, which you can make at home. thelabcambridge.com JJ’s Electric Juice You will need • 50ml reposado tequila • 25ml fresh lime juice • 50ml cloudy apple juice • 20ml agave syrup • One whole chilli (seeds and all!) To garnish (optional) • Dehydrated orange slice • Sprig of fresh mint • One dried chilli Method 1 Chop or lightly crush your whole chilli to release those fiery oils, then pop it into a shaker. 2 Add the reposado tequila, fresh lime juice, apple juice and agave syrup. 3 Shake it up! The chilli will infuse and mingle with the sweet and sour. 4 Single strain into a tumbler glass (or any glass that you love). 5 Garnish for that signature Lab look. Pro tip Let it sit for a minute before sipping – the chilli’s heat builds as it infuses. It’s a slow burn with a citrusy punch! Cocktail o’clock
