Ingredients

  • 1 dried whole red chilli
  • 200ml runny honey
  • 600ml bourbon
  • 2 tsp Angostura Cocoa Bitters
  • 1 twist of orange, to garnish

Method

5 steps

  1. Step 1

    Pour 100ml boiling water into a heatproof bowl and leave to cool slightly. Add the chilli, leave for 1 min, then spoon out and discard.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the honey until dissolved; cool completely.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the bourbon and bitters in a jug with 100ml of the honey water (the rest will keep chilled in an airtight jar for 2 weeks). Pour into a clean 70cl bottle (a funnel helps here); chill.

  4. Step 4

    To make the cocktail, stir 70ml of the bourbon mix over ice in a glass or cocktail shaker; strain into a tumbler over ice and add an orange twist.

  5. Step 5

    Recipe Tip: Allow extra time for cooling.
