SCOTCH BONNET MARMALADE COCKTAIL

Steps:

• For the Scotch: Cut the pepper in half and add it to a jar with the Scotch, infusing for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pepper (don't touch your eyes when handling the peppers, lest you end up like us, typing with one eye swollen, on fire with pepper oil). Trust us, this gets hot.
• For the cocktail: In a shaker with ice, add 4 ounces infused Scotch, lemon juice, marmalade and bitters, and shake vigorously. Strain into an up glass. Garnish with the tiniest slice of pepper. Sip slowly and keep a fire extinguisher on hand.

Pour into a glass 1 pt. jar and store in refrigerator for 3 days before serving. NOTE: use very sparingly! Can cause sober persons to get drunk trying to cool tongues from the heat! About 1 tsp. per gallon of chili works well for a mild to medium spice level.CAUTION! Wear gloves when making this recipe from start to end! The oils need to be washed from your hands very well before touching any body part or other persons, food, etc. Also make this in a well ventilated area, like under the stove hood (exhaust fan) or outdoors. What ever you do, do not look into the blender even after it has stopped. The atomized Capsicum will burn your eyes!I take no responsibility for accidental mishaps from anyone preparing this recipe.
