HOT CAYENNE PEPPER VODKA

Steps:

• Pour a shot or two of vodka out for yourself to compensate for the space the peppers will take.
• Cut a slit into each pepper. Remove seeds and inner tendril. Try to keep the peppers looking pretty.
• Insert each pepper into the bottle. Close bottle and store for at least 1 month if 80 proof, 3 months if 90 proof, the longer the better.

SPIKED CHILI PEPPER HOT CHOCOLATE WITH ORANGE CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Add sugar, whipping cream, orange juice and ground cinnamon to a medium mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium until the cream forms stiff peaks.
• Prepare a cup of your favorite hot cocoa mix, nice and hot. I recommend any mix that calls for milk or is Dutch processed. These tend to taste richer and have less added sugar.
• Add the liqueur (or vodka and cayenne pepper) to the hot chocolate and stir well. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with cinnamon sticks and orange.
