Where it came from
The Wet Pussy is a sweet shot family member alongside the Sex on the Beach. The Spicy version adds cayenne or jalapeno to give the drink a heat-and-cool dynamic. It became popular as bars started adding chilli to everything in the 2010s.
Some versions use Tabasco, some use fresh chilli, some muddle a slice of jalapeno. The cayenne version is the cleanest.
What it tastes like
Sweet peach and cranberry on the lead, lime tartness in the middle, cayenne heat building at the back. The heat shows up after you have swallowed the shot, not during.
Cold ingredients are essential. The cayenne reads sharper at low temperatures.
