HOW

THEN
To prepare the mixture, mix the shredded coconut and the Espelette chili pepper powder in a small plate. Then, in a separate plate, pour the orgeat syrup and soak the edge of an Old-Fashioned glass. Dip the wet brim into the coconut-chili mixture, ensuring there is a homogeneous contour. Set aside. After, in a shaker filled with ice cubes, mix all the ingredients using a bar spoon. Filter with a strainer and pour into the Old-Fashioned glass. Decorate with a grapefruit zest.
