Making this Gordon Ramsay Steak cocktail at home means taking time to infuse your own tequila, but the results are worth the effort. The spicy habanero peppers magnify the already-aggressive agave spirit. But the cinnamon sugar on the rim of the glass comes to the rescue to smooth everything over on the back end of each sip.

■ 1 oz. Cointreau
■ 1 oz. agave syrup
