Real hot Naga Chilli Vodka

The hottest chilli vodka in the world is to go on sale at Selfridges. 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 chilli used in the vodka is the Naga Jolokia, which is known to be one of the hottest chillis it is possible to grow: 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. 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, Selfridges' Spirits expert says '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.  We have a huge customer following for anything spicy, from our range of Tabasco products, the 1.7 million scoville chilli sauce and now our new Naga Chilli Vodka.”'
