There are many cocktails that can warm you up on a cold winter evening (I know, it's only December 3, but when it's Christmas time and much of the nation has been hit by a snowstorm, it's winter), but there aren't many that can honestly be called "hot." This one can.
It's the Red Hot Santa Tini, and not only do you rim the glass with cayenne pepper (added to cocoa), the main ingredient is chili-pepper infused vodka. And on top of the whipped cream you put a little chili pepper! Full recipe after the jump.
The Red Hot Santa Tini
2 oz Mazama vodka
2 oz. Godiva chocolate liqueur
cocoa powder

sweetened whipping cream
one small Thai chili pepper
