Firewater Recipes

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. Pass the hot sauce through a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a large pot on medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/2 of meat. Brown on all sides remove or push to side, then add remaining meat. Add next 6 ingredients. Stir. Mix seasonings in, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add Firewater and cover. Cook for 1 and 1/2 hours on medium-low heat till meat is tender, stirring occasionally.
• I recommend for thicker Chili add a slurry of masa harina (2 tablespoons of masa harina mixed with 1/4 cold water, or 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cold water), and turn heat up, cook and stir till chili is thickened - a few minutes.

Steps:

• Place the crushed chocolate covered espresso beans into a saucer and 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur into another saucer. Dip the rims of 4 martini glasses into the coffee liqueur then into the crushed beans.
• Combine the coffee, black vodka, coffee liqueur, creme de cocoa and vanilla vodka in a pitcher filled with ice. Stir and immediately pour into the rimmed glasses.
