A blood orange chili cocktail syrup for drinks that want citrus and heat in the same glass, jewel red and barely sweet.

Gris Gris Cocktail Magic makes it in small batches with blood orange, red chili and cane sugar. The orange takes the first sip and the chili arrives slowly at the back, more warmth than burn, and it turns a paloma or a margarita the color of a sunset.

For the friend whose home bar is half ingredients, half curiosities. For the host who serves a paloma with a twist. For the New Year's Eve tray, or for you.
