Scotch Bonnet Marmalade Cocktail Recipes

SCOTCH BONNET MARMALADE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Cut the pepper in half. (Don't touch your eyes when handling it, lest you end up like us, typing with one eye swollen, on fire with pepper oil.) Add it to a jar with the Scotch and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pepper. (Trust us, the Scotch gets hot.)
• To a shaker with ice, add 4 ounces of the infused Scotch, lemon juice, marmalade and bitters and shake vigorously. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with the tiniest slice of pepper. Sip slowly and keep a fire extinguisher on hand. (Reserve the remaining infused Scotch for future cocktails.)

GIN MARMALADE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Combine the gin, lemon juice and sugar in the almost-empty marmalade jar. Cover tightly with the lid and shake well. Pour the cocktail in a glass and garnish with a strip of orange peel.

Pour into a glass 1 pt. jar and store in refrigerator for 3 days before serving. NOTE: use very sparingly! Can cause sober persons to get drunk trying to cool tongues from the heat! About 1 tsp. per gallon of chili works well for a mild to medium spice level.CAUTION! Wear gloves when making this recipe from start to end! The oils need to be washed from your hands very well before touching any body part or other persons, food, etc. Also make this in a well ventilated area, like under the stove hood (exhaust fan) or outdoors. What ever you do, do not look into the blender even after it has stopped. The atomized Capsicum will burn your eyes!I take no responsibility for accidental mishaps from anyone preparing this recipe.
