I want to make some hot pepper tequila. The recipe I looked at said add 3-5 sliced habaneros to 1.75 ltr. of blanco tequila then taste after a few hours and if not hot enough, leave the peppers in a bit longer, then strain. Any suggestion about adding herb or spices or ice cube from to the brew?. Is there anything ornamental I can leave in the bottle without negatively affecting the flavor? Thanks!

How about a grub/larva ?

TLDR: Grubs have nothing to do with tequila. They were a marketing gimmick aimed at American consumers to build up interest in mezcal.
