Ol' Draj

In a 750ml glass bottle (if you finish off that Old Raj gin, say, the empty will do nicely), combine:

• 1-2 stalks worth of fresh mint (at least, you could add more)
• 5-6 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• As much cheap vodka as you can fit in there with the other ingredients

Let sit for a good 48 hours or so before sampling, giving it a shake or inverting it once or twice.  The end result is a lovely amber coloured liquor that both burns and cools quite pleasantly.  Most congenial on a sunny day toward the end of summer.

Sadly, quite impossible for me to photograph adequately with the equipment I possess, seemingly.
