Combining one tradition with another Fire is a cocktail that combines the “heat” of Makers 46 Bourbon with a Caribbean classic dish, Mango Chow. This cocktail, combines fresh pepper, sweet mango and the oh so potent but smooth Makers 46 for a spicy but refreshing cocktail.

Ingredients
- 1 oz infused habanero bourbon
- 2 oz mango purée
- 0.5 oz all spice simple syrup
- 0.5 oz lime juice
Instructions
Combine all ingredients into a shaker over ice, shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Double strain into a coupe glass, no ice.
Infused Habanero Bourbon
- 2 habanero peppers (jalapeño or Jamaican pepper as substitute) cut in half and deseeded. Please prepare with gloves or thoroughly wash your hands when complete. Avoid touching your face for these peppers linger on your fingertips
- 2-3 cilantro stems
- Bourbon
In an air tight glass jar add 16 oz of Makers Mark 46 Bourbon, peppers, and cilantro stems. Store in a cabinet for heat levels time as follows:
- “mild” heat 4-6 hours
- “medium” heat 6-10
- “bring on the heat” up to, but do not exceed, 24 hours
Once time is up remove peppers and cilantro from the jar.
Helpful note: write on jar the time you made and the time you want to remove as a reminder
Helpful note: for mango purée blend sweet mango such as Haitian mango or Carabao mango. If you’re unsure about different mangoes search for soft and bright red or yellow mangos for the sweetest selection. Ceres (the brand name) mango juice is a good substitute if you can not make a purée. Please avoid mango nectar like Goya which is syrupy
