Try Vodka made from the "Naga Jolokia" — one of the world's hottest chillis found in northeast India.The Naga Chilli Vodka rates 1000,000 on the Scoville scale — the international method of measuring the heat in a chilli — making it the most potent chilli vodka ever to be sold, the Mail Online reported.The chilli used in the Vodka is the Naga Jolokia, which is hotter than most law-enforcement grade pepper sprays. The drink is made by fermenting litres of Vodka with 18kg of the fiery peppers. The resulting concoction is left for several weeks to infuse.[caption id="attachment_211515" align="alignright" width="200" caption="Naga Chilli Vodka"][/caption]Once the Vodka has turned a dark caramel colour, the infusion is complete and the Vodka can be bottled. The resulting spirit measures 100,000 on the Scoville scale - twice as hot as Tabasco, and almost on a par with the level of heat from a Habanero or Scotch bonnet chilli.Expert mixologists recommend the new Vodka be used in a classic Bloody Mary for a drink with extra kick. Dawn Davies, an expert said: "This product is truly one of a kind and we anticipate the type of customer to buy this will be a chilli connoisseur who understands the rarity and incredible strength of such a product."The Scoville scale is named after Wilbur Scoville who developed the test in 1912.PTI
