Cocktail Hour: The Hot Flash

by Jonathan M. Forester, Posted Oct 27th 2008 @ 4:00PM

After a week spent wandering the halls of Tales of the Cocktail in July 2008, sipping many finely stirred and shaken libations; I said to myself, "These special cocktails need to be shared with the world." So I bring you Cocktail Hour, a finer way to celebrate the end of the day; with these recipes. They have either been created specifically for Tales of the Cocktail, or re-designed for a new approach on the traditional version by some of the top Mixologists in the world. Many are being presented to the public here for the first time. Enjoy!

The Hot Flash cocktail recipe after the jump

The Hot Flash created by Kara Newman

1-1/2 oz Don Julio Silver Tequila
1-1/2 oz Don Julio Reposado Tequila
1 oz Grand Marnier
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz Pomegranate juice

Chipotle salt for rimming

Shake ingredients on ice and strain into a Chipotle salt rimmed cocktail glass.

Chipotle salt: mix 2 parts Kosher salt to 1 part Chipotle Chile powder. Dip rim of glass in lime juice and roll edge in Chipotle salt. Allow to dry.

Note: this recipe is even better & hotter of the tequila is infused with fresh jalapeno peppers overnight or a few days.
