[CH] New York's Burning

It was bound to happen one of these days. While cooking my wife's 
favorite fish recipe, Two Manhattan Salmon (recipe at:
http://www.enter.net/~bvdrangs/recipes.html), I was following the 
instructions and making a Manhattan for myself and by some sleight 
of hand got the smoke flavoring instead of the bitters. I noticed it 
only after my hand was progressing toward the glass and too late to 
stop without getting some in the glass. (Yes the bourbon was already 
there). Oh no, now what do I do? Can't waste the bourbon. Figuring 
that I had only hit it with one shake, I decided to add the bitters 
and then in a flash of brilliance, hit it with a shake or two of Pica 
Jalapeno Hot Sauce. Mix well and taste, Wow, it is actually good. 
You can just taste the smoke and the heat starts coming through. Not 
only a Manhattan, but smoke and fire too. Look out New York is 
Burning! A new drink is born!
