Sadly, it’s not something I’ve tried (why not, I’m asking myself now). However, my advice would be to take a 2 stage approach – first follow a recipe for infusing chocolate into vodka and then infuse the chocolate vodka with the chilli until you reach a level of heat yu are happy with.

This bottle sits somewhere north of 30 euros for a bottle of 70 cl. So it’s definitely not a cheap liqueur, but rather an exclusive sip to use sparsely. Given the 40% alcohol and the impressive experience though, the value for money is certainly obviously. Last year we chose to enjoy the drams of bourbon 2 at a time. Each dram was split into 2 servings, so that we could sample several bourbons side by side and identify the differences. It was quite a delightful and eye-opening experience. Your choices of alcohol are limitless, but popular choices are tequila, vodka, and even wine. The amount of chili peppers will depend on your preference, though you can use anywhere from 1 chili pepper for a milder infusion to a dozen for a flavor blast. I thought about using in my slow cooker with a pot roast and my usual spices and veggies, or possible use them in a Mexican dish of some sort (probably easiest to do). Made with our own scratch distilled sugar beet vodka, the spirit has a naturally creamy mouthfeel, with nothing artificial added. We’ve also strived to capture the gentle warmth from the fresh chillies, shying away from the stereotype of super spicy flavours, through using our well-refined distillation techniques.The green version brings a younger more green pepper flavor and does not have as much of the baking spice and smoke flavors that the original does. Probably preferable if you are mixing it with lighter spirits. How is Ancho Reyes made? Thanks for stopping by. Since this would be your first time, you might try the infusion with only 1 or 2 peppers for the whole bottle and see how that tastes to you. You don’t want to overdo it, depending on your palate and heat tolerance. Also, put a slit in the pepper to help the infusion process. You can also slice it into rings or pieces, but the whole peppers with slits look a bit more appealing, imo. The chili peppers will eventually sink and your infused alcohol will be ready for consumption in anywhere from several hours to 3 or 4 weeks. How Long Should I Steep the Peppers in Alcohol? Step 2: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 30-40 seconds until the drink is ice cold and wonderfully frothy

Expect subtle aromas and complex flavours of juniper berries, herbs, roots, flowers and spices. It’s a smooth gin with great depth. Easy to fall for. Puffing Billy Steam Vodka I would add a few notes though. When I first thought of a chile liquor, I imagined a sort of blow your head off spiciness based on my experience with infusing spirits with peppers. Despite its bold character and unique flavor profile, I would consider the Ancho Chile liqueur a very versatile spirit. A refreshing serve would be a Boilermaker, where you sip the liqueur alongside a chaser of ice-cold beer.Making infusions with chiles is not that uncommon and when you try it yourself it can be really easy to take it way over the edge into an almost undrinkable firewater, but that isn’t the case here.
