Ingredients

Scale

For the cocktail:

  • 1.5 oz Philly Cheesesteak fat-washed Hornitos Blanco (See below)
  • .75 oz pepper syrup
  • .5 oz lemon juice
  • Provolone foam
  • Pepper Drop

For the Philly cheesesteak fat-washed Hornitos Blanco:

  • 32 oz Hornitos Blanco tequila
  • .5 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire
  • Dash salt & pepper

For the pepper syrup:

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 12 pepperazzi peppers (pickled cherry peppers in oil), chopped (and whatever oil comes with them)
  • 2.5 cups sugar
  • 2.5 cups water

For the provolone foam:

  • 4 slices provolone cheese (without filler or texturizer)
  • 20 oz heavy whipping cream
  • 8 drops lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Cream Siphon

Instructions

For the cocktail:

  1. Add tequila, pepper syrup and lemon to shaker tin. Shake. Double strain into chilled Nick & Nora glass.
  2. Dispense provolone foam into a separate container.
  3. Pour gently over the back of a spoon to float the foam on top of the cocktail.
  4. Garnish with skewered Pepper Drop.

For the Philly cheesesteak fat-washed Hornitos Blanco:

  1. Sautee onions until brown. Add beef, Worcestershire, salt & pepper. Cook until meat is browned.
  2. Let cool to warm/room temperature. Pour tequila over mixture. Let sit 1 hour. Strain out mixture.
  3. 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:

  1. Sauté peppers in oil until soft.
  2. Add water and sugar.
  3. Bring to a boil. Let simmer 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. Strain and discard peppers.

For the provolone foam:

  1. Over low heat, melt the provolone slices with 12 oz heavy cream stirring constantly.
  2. 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).
  3. Chill 20 minutes or until cool.
  4. Add 8 oz heavy cream and salt to mixture. Pour into Cream Siphon. Chill 1 hour.
  5. SHAKE!
