These are great cocktails for people who love chili or hot peppers. I am not one of them, so I would make this cocktail for some family members but not for me.
These are good tips to know when making cocktails for guests that drink alcohol. The grapefruit martini looks so pretty too. I am a huge chili powder fan and would eat it and drink it in anything!
