Chilli White Rum Cocktail Recipe
This takes no time at all to prep and unlike Sloe Gin – only need a couple of weeks to infuse. Get yourself an old jam jar and sterilise it by immersing it, and the lid, in boiling water straight from three kettle, or boil it in a saucepan of water. Just get rid of any bacteria. I used 8 Birdseye Chillies my first time round, that’s crazy – you only need 3.

Ingredients
  • 5Birdseye fresh red chilliChop three up and keep two whole. You can use any red chilli, I used Birdseye cause they kick ass
  • 1bottle white rumI used Bacardi, any will do – you won’t need to use the whole bottle, just enough for a jam jar
  • 2tbls caster sugar
  • 3whole limesyou need these to serve in a couple of week, no need to buy them now.
Instructions
  1. Chop the Chillies any way you like, discard the stalks.
  2. After you have sterilised your jar add the chopped chillies and the two whole ones.
  3. Then add the sugar.
  4. Pour in Bacardi to just below the top. Put the lid on, shake it and store in a dark cupboard. Shake it every day for the first few days or so to dissolve the sugar.
  5. After a couple of weeks, get a sieve over a jug and put the contents through it – collecting the chillies, put the whole ones to the side, bin the rest. Rinse the jar.
  6. Add the two whole chillies to the rinsed jar. Before you pour the Bacardi from the jug back into the jar, pour yourself a shot and grab a wedge of lime – shoot it, suck on the lime. I promise, you’ll feel plenty warm.
  7. If it’s just too spicy, chillies can sometimes be unpredictable, remove some of the rum and top it up with some fresh stuff (don’t be a wuss though). I’d also say, it’s nice to sip or mix – you don’t HAVE TO shoot it.
  8. It’s ready, take to your party and see who is the toughest. Some people will hate you though, like my mate Keef – I warned him…
