Fahrenheit 5000
A blazing hot shooter designed for the brave. This intense concoction layers the heat of Tabasco sauce with the burn of cinnamon schnapps and the bite of pepper vodka, creating a drink that lives up to its scorching name.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by sharp vinegar from the hot sauce and synthetic cinnamon. It tastes of intense chili heat and sweet spice with a thin, watery mouthfeel. The finish is a long-lasting, prickly burn that stays on the back of the throat.
