Feeling like starting a crazy holiday tradition? How about a spicy aperitif that intensely burns your throat before the meal to kick it off? This is an easy alcoholic drink recipe to make, and it only requires three things: a bottle of Goldschläger, Carolina Reapers, and shot glasses! If you're not familiar with Goldschläger, it's a cinnamon schnapps liqueur with 24k gold flakes floating in it. This can be a great parting gift, or you can use airplane-sized prepared bottles to give as small, unforgettable gifts.

Thank you Kevin for sharing this recipe! Kevin started this creation after realizing he ended up with more Carolina Reapers that he didn't know what to do with it, so this became his long standing holiday tradition. Beware, your guests are only going to want to take just one shot because well, it's a double burn from the liquor AND the Carolina Reapers!

It's truly a memorable experience (but of course, use common sense disclaimers - like this is not for children). Don't worry about your guests becoming inebriated, because over the years, not one of my guests has asked for seconds. - Kevin
