The chilli in this drink really works well with the vodka and vermouth. If you've got time infuse the Cotswold vodka with some chillis - but beware or you may have a vodka with a little too much heat!

FAQ's

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute another type of vermouth for the white vermouth in Heat in the Hawthorn?

Yes, you can substitute white vermouth with dry vermouth if you prefer a slightly drier taste, or with sweet vermouth for a richer, sweeter flavor profile. However, keep in mind that this will slightly alter the original taste of the cocktail.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnish would complement the Heat in the Hawthorn cocktail?

A thin slice of chili pepper on the rim of the glass or a small chili pepper on a cocktail skewer placed in the glass would complement the spicy notes of the cocktail. Alternatively, a twist of lime can add a fresh, zesty accent.

Preparation techniques icon

Is there a specific technique to infuse the chili pepper flavor into the Heat in the Hawthorn cocktail?

To infuse the chili pepper flavor, muddle the chili pepper in the shaker before adding the rest of the ingredients. This will release the essential oils and spice. For a milder flavor, you can slice or chop the chili and let it infuse in the vodka for a few hours before straining and using it in the cocktail.

Serving suggestions icon

What is the ideal serving temperature for Heat in the Hawthorn, and should it be served with ice?

Heat in the Hawthorn is best served cold but not diluted, so it’s advisable to shake it with ice to chill and then strain it into a cocktail glass without additional ice. This preserves the full flavor profile and strength of the cocktail.

How does the alcohol content in Heat in the Hawthorn compare to that of a standard margarita?

The alcohol content of Heat in the Hawthorn is approximately 31.65%, which is higher than the average alcohol content of a standard margarita, which usually ranges around 20-30% ABV depending on the recipe. This makes Heat in the Hawthorn a stronger choice.
