So we were shopping last night and the Missus mentioned that one of Her colleagues loves to infuse his vodka with peppers...."smack to the head"...of course, what a great idea.
Just then I passed the perfect "label" to infuse...Ballast Point's ultra-filtered, "Fugu" small batch vodka.
Not much to say here, make sure to wash the pepper well, slice in half, put in bottle.......I thought about removing the seeds and stuff, but that would be no fun.
So that was last night....the Missus and I couldn't wait, so we had a taste with dinner....holy smokes......it's very floral, but that heat! I thought I'd need at least a week. It is literally "fire water"!
It went well with the Bison Nahm Tok I made.
I'll be sharing this and leaving it with friends this weekend (maybe I'll document what we create) since I'm not really into spirits....though that doesn't mean I won't do this again!
Freaking AWESOME!
