1pt Chili Salty Dog Recipe

1pt Chili Salty Dog
A spicy twist on the classic Salty Dog, this cocktail brings together a bright grapefruit kick with a subtle chili heat. It's a refreshing yet fiery drink that’s perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat in their glass.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Chili Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of vodka in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 3 hours max, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)

1pt Chili Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Sencha Fukamushi, Orange Zest, Pink Peppercorn, Flaked Chili - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives

Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)

STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink

Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass over ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 5 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge or a thin chili slice to highlight the drink’s zesty and spicy notes.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Level up the heat a bit with a smoked sea salt + fresh chili rim.
