Spicy cocktails and shooters are still trending in bars and restaurants because of the zing it brings to the belly and to the consciousness. Usually, these drinks are infused with hot sauces or chilis before they are mixed up and iced. Popular types are oyster shooters, the Cabo Wabo tequila and the Habanero Martini. One kind that’s reaching the border of absolute spice intoxication is the Ghost Pepper Vodka—vodka infused with the hottest peppers on Earth, and only a few are daring enough to get drunk with a ball of fire in a drink.
Ghost peppers are the hottest peppers on the planet with over a million scoville units, and those who have tried it say that a mere pinch will make any meal or dish inedible with so much spiciness. Standard government-issued pepper sprays have around 500,000- 1,000,000 scoville units, and just imagine the irritating liquid that can disperse the unruliest of crowds going down your throat and residing in your belly for quite some time. These peppers came from the rural regions of India and are usually watered down before the fresh pods are transported to reduce the heat. In the Western market, ghost peppers are not readily available, some order on eBay or from online stores, and some grow their own. Regardless of how a pod of ghost pepper is obtained, it is used in many dishes that require only brave taste buds and tolerance. Ghost peppers are usually used in sauces and cheeses, and to use as a cocktail, one ghost pepper pod is equal to every 1.75 liters of vodka (to be infused overnight). A ghost pepper vodka shot is served in very small quantities (just a spoonful in every shot) because of the extreme heat. Vodka is a pristine drink, but packs quite a heap of heat itself, and the ghost peppers adds, if not intensifies the spicy after-taste. Although ghost peppers are notorious for its unbelievable heat, they don’t harm the body. Ghost peppers are even used in India to cure stomach ailments, because it gives heat to the body and prevents humid weather sicknesses.
If these ghost pepper facts haven’t made you intoxicated yet, go ahead and try a shot of ghost pepper vodka at your risk, just make sure you have something to cool you down (dairy products or cream) after the shot. Seeing that folks from the western hemisphere are crazy about spice and peppers, it might not be too long until ghost pepper vodka becomes a favorite in local bars.
