I'm glad you asked, but I'll have to narrate a story to explain:
After leaving Madison, Indiana I stopped in Louisville to see
long-time friends. They gave me a tall glass container from
Value City with a spicket at the bottom and a large cork for a
lid.
Still in my possesion was a one pound bag of chipotles I had
brought to the Hotluck from the International Farmer's Market in
Decatur, Ga. I also had some Gold Dust, in the form of
Campbell's Hab Flakes and a rare batch of his Chipotle Powder.
I'm not even sure if it is commercially available.
Now, I don't mean to get on the Campbell Soapbox but you must
understand this man operates from the Heart, not the Purse.
So ... to my glass container I added:
Three tablespoons of Jim's Apple Wood Smoked Hab Powder
Three tablespoons of Jim's Chipotle Powder
1/4 pound of Arbol Peppers
2 Gaujillo Peppers
2 Ancho Peppers
1/4 pound of Chipotles
4 Fresh Habs
Plenty Chunks of Ginger Root (Dedicated to Ms. DeForest)
I cut slits in the Chipotles to allow their heavenly essence to
seep into the final ingredient - Vodka!
It took about 1 1/2 gallons to fill the container. After a few
hours it had a wonderful smoky flavor, which I thought would
make a great addition to Bloody Mary mix. Now, days later, one
can't see through the mixture. Only the bravest of warriors
have been able to tolerate a small amount of the elixer
straight. More than a few drops renders it to a Controlled
Substance category. I call it The Smokey Mary Medicinal Elixer.
Already, it has cured in experimental subjects:
Sinus Congestion, Headache, Poor Circulation, Constipation,
Memory Lapse, Loss of Appetite, Too Much Appetite, Eyelid
Quivers, The Heebie Jeebies and Illusions of Granduer. It's
Expectorant effect is unrivaled!
