New Vodka Claims To be The Spiciest Spirit In History
I’m not a big vodka drinker. I never have been. All vodka is essentially the same to me. Sure, there’s a difference between the super cheap and the super expensive, but when it comes down to it, it’s not that big. However, there’s now a new vodka on the market that may make me change my mind.
I’m a spicy food guy. I fucking love it. For me, it’s half about the taste and half about just seeing if I can handle the heat. The Hot Enough Vodka Company, as the name would suggest, has just released a new vodka that will straight fuck you up.
Made with ghost pepper and bhut jolokias, the new vodka weighs in at an impressive 500,000 Scovilles (the unit of measurement for spiciness). The producers boast it as the hottest vodka ever produced and that it feels like “volcanic lava” as it goes down your throat. It’s roughly 200 times spicier than your average jalapeno pepper, so it’s definitely not for those of you who get heartburn from a little hot sauce on your wings. Not convinced it’s hot? The packaging the bottles come in even says, “Do not drink as a shot under any circumstances.” Fuck, man.
Hot Enough Vodka also makes some less spicy spirits, aptly named “250,000 Scovilles” and “100,000 Scovilles” for those of you trying to ease your way into the spicy vodka game. Personally, I think I’ll just stick to bourbon.
Do you still think it’s not that hot? Check out this video of people trying it for the first time:

10 years ago at 9:32 amTerrible marketing idea to create something people can’t drink straight. It’s like they want to lose money
10 years ago at 9:32 amLet’s face it; a bunch of people are going to see that as a challenge, not a deterrent.
10 years ago at 10:43 amI personally don’t understand what the hell people get out of eating (and now drinking) extremely spicy foods and drinks. Do they get some sort of sick and twisted thrill out of chewing lava?
10 years ago at 9:32 amDidn’t say anything about not butt chugging it, now which Pike is gonna do it for the sake of a mediocre TFM article?
10 years ago at 9:32 amThey should think about how that would end. Then again, it’s Pike.

10 years ago at 9:50 amThat would be a bitch to get drunk off of that stuff
10 years ago at 9:38 amI think I found my new drink I buy everyone on their 21st.
10 years ago at 9:47 amThey must have a hell of a sales pitch to have duped some poor asshole into funding this terrible idea
10 years ago at 9:53 amThe intern should be forced to drink this for not posting fail Friday
