Garnish: Two short pineapple fronds and a light chile-lime seasoning dusting

1. 01

   Chill a polished julep cup and trim exactly two short clean pineapple fronds for the garnish.

2. 02

   Measure the reposado tequila, green chile vodka, serrano-infused blanco tequila, PX sherry, pineapple syrup, and kummel into the cup.

3. 03

   Fill the cup halfway with crushed ice and churn for about 10 seconds while holding the rim.

4. 04

   Add more crushed ice until two-thirds full and continue churning until the cup is fully frosted.

5. 05

   Mound fresh crushed ice into a neat cone above the rim without spilling down the cup.

6. 06

   Add the two short pineapple fronds, dust lightly with a restrained salt-and-cayenne seasoning, and serve with a short straw.
