This new liqueur is made with an infusion of chipotle peppers—the dried, smoked preparation of the jalapeño pepper—plus grey and Kampot peppers, as well as raisins and warming spices like nutmeg and ginger. Altogether, the infused ingredients are said to create a spicy heat with a tinge of sweetness that softens the intensity of the fiery peppers.
