I have tried this a couple of times a while back (last winter) and it is bloody awesome. All these recipes with neutral makes me want to build a reflux column for myself again :roll:
Cheers.

Talking to Ol'boy sarvo and he reckons he'd like to give this a sampling, looks like the new reflux still build is on the cards with all these recipes 5Star.
But geez the first maceration is warm...... :lol: shoulda left it till I added the second lot of spirit to the ingredients but I just had to have a taste after the mrs dared me too.
F F F F A RRR KI NNNNN H H H H H OT!!!!! :twisted:
I'm not positive you need to do it in two stages, it came about from fear when i was constructing the test batch. It just allows you to temper to taste later with the side benefit of only having to strain the pulpy juice out of half of it.
Once you get used to the chillis you use and have made the recipe a couple of times that step could be discarded i guess. Or the lazy ones can skip it from the start :lol:
Just tried a shot of this and it is really delightful after straining it all and adding the first lot to the second, not something I would spend a night drinking but can easily see myself taking a shot or two on these cold winter nights :D
Hey 5Star what a great recipe (esp given the fact that 'the old blokes round my way' say its gonna be a cold one this year). As I've pretty well got heaps of ALL the ingredients here right now, do you reckon I could up the Habanero (and maybe lime) quantity a bit...I love 'em... for extra zing and, if so, how many before it might be too many (ie just taste like 'hot' :shock: or 'fruity' :( not 'spicy nice')?

Is this a drink modeled on something you drank in Thailand? Or is it just something you designed yourself? I am very intrigued, as was thinking it might be a nice warmer at the distillery in Winter :-)
