Please don’t misunderstand. This is hot, sweet and spicy cinnamon flavored liquor. It burns. Its also sweet and if you love things like red-hots and gummy cinnamon bears- this might just be the drink for you.
I infused red-hots into vodka, because of the all Valentines Day Puns I could derive from “RED HOT.” You know? Right?
But I realized after I took these pictures that I should have served this in shot glasses.
Cool? Did you know that you can do this with any candy and Vodka? You can.
Ok- short and sweet today. Have a hot and spicy day filled with love ☺

Thanks Bev!!
I literally could not open this page fast enough when I saw this on my e-mail today! Thanks for the adult treat, Heather!
This looks an amazing shot of vodka. Recently i bought a whole bunch of flavoured Vodka from Absolute but i would love to try this chilli kicking shot
Can I use flavoured vodka for this cocktail? What flavor goes best?
I just used plain- but i am sure you could use whatever you like that goes well with cinnamon!
Vanilla maybe?
