   Well received at parties and great on warm summer nights it's a "spin on the classics" drink that doesn't operate by trying to cover up the actual alcohol in the drink.
   
   Ingredients:
   - 1 serrano chili (you can use more but it can overpower the rest of the drink quickly)
   - 3oz london dry gin (gordons is my pick, beefeater also works great)
   - 1oz dry vermouth (omit to get the "spicy winston")
   - 1/2 fresh lime
   
   Directions:
   - Combine gin, vermouth, lime, and chilli in a shaker filled with ice holding a few slices of chili in reserve for garnish.
   - Shake vigorously and enhancement through sieve or cloth to remove chili seeds
   - Add garnish, serve as is or with additional ice to keep it cool longer
   
   Disclaimer: much more fun going down than coming up.

   That sounds pretty good though I've not got any of the ingredients, it's odd what you can do with drinks to make em nicer/different.
   I've got a couple of bottles of plain vodka in my cupboard and some caramel vodka too so give me a recipe for one of those.

   I've not got coffee liquer but I could use some instant coffee, have baileys original as milk then some caramel on top, would that work?
   Also have chocolate baileys for a massive mix of flavour.

   Yea, that will work. Call it "Poor Black Russian".
   
   I wouldn't add the chocolate to be honest. Too much sweetness.

   I've got milk but the recipe I looked up needed cream, made sense to use irish cream.
   Had an instant mocha sachet mixed with the choco baileys that was good, would recommend.

    Other than bloody marys I don't really drink vodka, although I did make horseradish infused vodka once. It goes well with a heavy meal.

    I've been thinking about getting some raspberries and making vodka with it, I'm not a fan of absolut which is one of the bottles I have so I could get rid of that.
    
    What else you been drinking Lan?

    This winter my two main drinks have been negronis and emeralds (2 to 1 irish whiskey to sweet vermouth, with orange bitters). I don't usually go for whiskey drinks but it's nice on a cold day.

    lol, once time when I went out with some coworkers one one of the dudes tried to order the same drink, but he was kinda drunk and English wasn't his first language, so it came out as "negro martini"

    The best way to drink vodka is to buy some Bushmills and pour the vodka down the shitter.

    lol, I agree although bushmills is a little too sweet for me. I mean I'd probably like it a lot of I was more of a whiskey drinker but when I go for a whiskey I usually like something spicier like a strong rye or something.
    
    Speaking of which, got stuff to make sazeracs recently:

    Its odd how people's taste buds perceive things differently. I don't mix or use ice.
    
    Barmaid: What can I get you honey?
    
    Me: I'll 12 shots of Pabst in the bottle and a shot of Bushmills if you please darlin'.
    
    Barmaid: you want that chilled or on the rocks.
    
    Me: If we're gonna be friends don't put nothing in my whiskey except more whiskey and keep the shot glass warm.
    
    So maybe that's why it has no sweet taste to me. When you've had Bushmills how did you drink it?
