I'm wanting to make Chilli Vodka for the male members in my family. I was just wondering if anyone knows how much Chilli i need to put in?! I don't want to kill them but i also want them to be able to taste it. Thanks in advance. xxx

The sugar within the chocolate has fermented and added to the alcohol within the drink

Sorry, impossible I'm afraid, unless your mix was very weak in alcohol content to start with.

Firstly, where did the yeast (or similar bacteria) come from to ferment the sugar?

Secondly, biological fermentation of sugar into alcohol has an ultimate level of approx 16% alcohol, as this is the alcohol strength which kills the yeast bacteria off.

ie you can't brew alcoholic drinks over 16% alcohol.

Anything stronger has been fortified by the addition of distilled spirit.

You just got tipsy.

i take your word for it. Its what the OH reckoned had happened, it was very very strong tasting, far stronger than it should've been given that it was a small bottle with a lot of chocolate in it.

and okay, i don't usually drink, but it also usually takes more than a shot of vodka to get me tipsy!!

rwaite: a lot depends on how strong you want it, i've had chilli vodka where a single tiny tiny sip (i.e. just wetting my lips) left me feeling like i'd eaten an entire chilli con carne.. we've vodka in the fridge that has to be diluted down with more vodka cos i made the mistake of using scotch bonnet chillis to make it with.. LOL.. so less is definetly more. i would put in some large fat chillis into the bottle, and keep trying it every day, when it gets to a heat you're happy with, remove the chillis.

Kethry, thank you for this thread - I've been to the shops and bought some lemon sherberts and cola bottles and can't wait to get started!!

I'm off now to sterilise my little wine bottles - I'll let you know how I get on later...

I hope it's not too late, but I read somewhere that Cola bottles will turn your bottle of vodka into an expensive (not particularly nice) jelly!

It may be worth trying a small amount first with this, to see how it goes before attempting it on a full bottle.

I've read cola cubes work...

It's like making Vodka Jelly - Thought I'd make it much stronger than the ones you can buy... blooming stuff refused to set! Ended up putting it in the freezer and STILL it wouldn't set LOL so we had frozen-ish vodka jelly slurpeys :rotfl: imagine drinking vodka through a straw and think about how fast you are likely to get drunk... twister was a lot of fun that evening! :rotfl:

Mrs T - your gaming evenings sound fantastic!!:D

Jonny - I wish I'd have seen your post earlier, although it hasn't turned into a jelly mess yet, they haven't dissolved very well.:o

My lemon sherbet vodka is absolutely fantastic and I will be doing more of this one - but I will be doing the kola kube one - it seems to be that boiled sweeties do a lot better than anything else. Thanks for the tip J.

Oooh I think I'm gonna sample my lemon sherbet again!!.....
