Chile-flavored vodka is often described as usable just for Bloody Mary cocktails. And that’s principally one thing I agree with. What else have I ever used pepper-infused vodka for?
St. George’s expression of pepper vodka isn’t shy. Infused with California jalapenos, habaneros, serranos, and bell peppers, there isn’t any scarcity of capsaicin to go round on this spirit. The excellent news: It undoubtedly gained’t kill you with hearth. The nostril has that brightly natural serrano/inexperienced pepper observe — like a recent, crisp pepper pulled straight from the earth. Identical story on the palate: Plenty of spicy-bitter inexperienced pepper mingled with recent jalapeno, the peppery chew of a (delicate) serrano, and a spicy however bitter-herbal — although surprisingly refreshing — high quality on the end. It’s warming however by no means actually “scorching,” arguably touchdown because the least chilified chile vodka I’ve encountered ever.
It is a easy product, though it’s decidedly well-made, showcasing all the pieces it says it’ll save for the habanero, which by no means actually makes its anticipated, mouth-searing introduction. Principally, although, I’m nice with that.
80 proof.
