I love spicy flavors! Whoever first thought of adding that fiery kick to drinks deserves a medal. That’s why we have this special drink – the Hot and Dirty Martini. It’s a brilliant twist on the classic Dirty Martini.
Believe me, you’re gonna love its “hot” aspect. The “hot” I’m talking about here is a tantalizing addition of spicy elements like hot sauce, chili, or pepper-infused vodka. This twist brings an extra layer of complexity and a fiery punch to the already tantalizing Dirty Martini experience.
If you want to try other hot and spicy drinks, Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita or Spicy Mango Margarita could fit you. But here’s how to make the Hot and Dirty Martini. You can use hot sauce or chili like jalapeno or pepperoncini.
