Instructions
For the cocktail:
- Add tequila, pepper syrup and lemon to shaker tin. Shake. Double strain into chilled Nick & Nora glass.
- Dispense provolone foam into a separate container.
- Pour gently over the back of a spoon to float the foam on top of the cocktail.
- Garnish with skewered Pepper Drop.
For the Philly cheesesteak fat-washed Hornitos Blanco:
- Sautee onions until brown. Add beef, Worcestershire, salt & pepper. Cook until meat is browned.
- Let cool to warm/room temperature. Pour tequila over mixture. Let sit 1 hour. Strain out mixture.
- Cover and freeze overnight (at least 12 hours). Fine mesh strain and discard fat while cold. Strain a second time with cheese cloth.
For the pepper syrup:
- Sauté peppers in oil until soft.
- Add water and sugar.
- Bring to a boil. Let simmer 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Strain and discard peppers.
For the provolone foam:
- Over low heat, melt the provolone slices with 12 oz heavy cream stirring constantly.
- Once cheese is melted, add 8 drops lemon juice and whisk lightly until emulsified. Mixture should lose the stringy texture and appear more like cream. If needed, add more lemon juice sparingly (too much may curdle/separate).
- Chill 20 minutes or until cool.
- Add 8 oz heavy cream and salt to mixture. Pour into Cream Siphon. Chill 1 hour.
- SHAKE!
