Method
Preparation
Prepare the Pepper Reduction
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced roasted red bell pepper with a splash of water. Simmer until the peppers are soft. Blend until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids. Set aside.
Make the Cocktail
In a shaker, combine the tequila reposado, pureed cantaloupe, lime juice, Giffard watermelon liqueur, simple syrup, and 0.5 oz of the red bell pepper reduction. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Top with a dollop of pepper foam and garnish with a small slice of cantaloupe or bell pepper if desired.
