Chilli Vodka - the work of the devil
Posted 31-01-08 at 08:50 by go_slow
After the chilli harvest last year I was left with a load of chilli’s and no idea what to do with them. Having asked for some advice I was told to put some chilli’s in vodka to make a nice flavoured drink.
The person who suggested it didn’t specify the exact amount so, since I liked chilli’s, I thought what that hell. A small bottle of vodka was purchased and into this half bottle went 12 small birds eye chilli’s and 2 scotch bonnets. I didn’t really expect much so I popped the bottle into the freezer and promptly forgot about it.
Well the fridge was turned off yesterday in preparation for moving and out of the freezer came this forgotten bottle of vodka, by the time I got home it had thawed out.
Happy at the discovery of unexpected bounty I figured it was time to taste. Two shot glasses unpacked, filled up and ready to go.
Mother of god the chilli taste.
SWMBO obeyed gave it a little sip and declared it the work of the devil. Which it is. I love chilli’s but this stuff made me cry.
My mouth was tingling for 15 minutes, what a great excuse for eating chocolate!!!
On second attempt it tasted much better but I think now the plan is to buy another bottle of vodka and cut it down a little with the chilli stuff, that should hopefully mellow the taste.
And then another bottle to make chilli chocolate vodka.
And possibly another bottle since there will be some chilli vodka left, and since you cant drink it neat...............well you get the idea.

 |  LOL so how many chilli's do you reckon for something drinkable? 3 Thai Birdeye's in a full bottle? Did you score the chilli's before putting them in or just whack them in, and for how long? It's about time I made some, considering I'm a lover of superhot sauces and vodka... |
