Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacao powder (preferably raw or ceremonial-grade)
- 1 tablespoon turbinado or coconut sugar (for texture and balance)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or chili powder (adjust to heat preference)
- (Optional) pinch of flaky sea salt or smoked paprika for extra depth
Instructions:

In a small bowl or plate, combine:- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp chili powder or cayenne
- Optional: pinch of sea salt or smoked paprika
- Moisten the glass rim:
Rub a blood orange wedge, lime wedge, or a little simple syrup around the rim of your coupe glass. - Apply the rim:
Dip the moistened rim into the cacao-chili mixture, turning the glass gently to get an even coat. - Let set:
Allow the rim to dry for about 1 minute before pouring in the mocktail to prevent dripping or slippage.

- Flavor swaps: Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth, or espresso powder for depth.
- Color boost: If you want a darker rim, add 1/8 tsp activated charcoal to deepen the tone.
