The spice cocktail is a type alcoholic drink that features hot spices such cayenne, chili peppers and jalapenos. Spicy drinks are a fun way to try new flavors, and they can be a great alternative to sweeter cocktails.
The key to making a spicy drink is to find the right balance between the spicy flavor and the alcohol content. It is important to experiment with different peppers and ingredients in order to find the right balance.
The best way to get maximum flavor from a cocktail is to use fresh, local peppers. Another option is to use dried or tinctured peppers. However, make sure to check the heat level of the infused chile every now and again.
Bennett recommends steeping the peppers, alcohol, and neutral distillate at 100-proof (or Everclear, or any other widely available brand) for a few more hours. The more you steep the flavor, the stronger it will be.
Bennett says that sugar can be added to your recipe to keep the heat under control. To help lower the intensity of capsaicin, add lemon or lime to your drink.
Triple sec is one of the liqueurs and liquors that has a higher sugar level than other liquors. This makes it a great choice to infuse spicy ingredients with. Ricky Agustin, a Seattle-based bartender who is also a Pegu Club vet, said that "high-sugar liquors like triple sec are a great option to control the heat of a spice-infused cocktail."
A spicy cocktail can be made by infusing your favorite spirit vodka with spices. For a unique twist on a classic, try adding cinnamon to your tequila. Or, try mixing it with a reposado tequila for a more complex experience.
You can infuse any number of spirits with cinnamon, from vodka to tequila and whiskey. It is a common addition to fall and winter drinks, such as mulling spices, but it can also be added to many other recipes.
A popular spice that can be used to infuse rum is allspice. This allspice mixture is simple to make and can be added to any cocktail.
This syrup can be used in a variety of alcoholic drinks, including martinis. It's especially useful in a martini recipe that already uses cucumber, since it gives the cocktail a fresh and fruity edge while still providing a hint of heat from the peppers.
Amaro is a popular ingredient for making smoky and spicy drinks, and it's easy to infuse amaro with chili peppers for an extra kick of heat. Porchlight NYC has a recipe that uses amaro with ginger. This is a warming and delicious addition to the cocktail.
If you're looking for a spicy cocktail, don't forget to rim your glass with chilli salt. You can add a small amount of this to the rim of your glass, but it won't overpower other elements.
