    Chilli wine

    I saw a bottle for sale when I was in Australia, so brought it home. It's made entirely from chillies, sugar and water. It has a sweet taste, but is, naturally, rather hot! A good aperatif.

    I was wondering how a spirit made by distilling it would be. Anyone seen any chilli spirit?

    I suspect that it's probably not distilled but a local pub has a Chilli Schnapps which is painful. Even seen an ambulance called once for someone who did not heed the warning and knocked it back in one
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      I've made chilli vodka, just by putting four kenyan chillies into a bottle of vodka and leaving it about a month. Thing is chilli oil is soluble in alcohol, so it spreads nicely. It was good to have with deep fried battered whitebait - and beer chasers.

            Try freeze distilling it.

              It was bl**dy expensive (like, almost a minute's billing) and I brought it back half way around the world. I'd hate to ruin it.

                Was about to flame you for your carbon footprint in procuring a bottle of wine.
