Chili Powder

Chili powder is a spice blend made from ground dried chilies, offering a mild to medium heat with earthy, smoky, and slightly spicy notes. In cocktails, it is often used to add a savory, fiery kick, especially in drinks like the Bloody Mary or spicy Margaritas. Chili powder can be used in rimming glasses, infused into syrups, or muddled with other ingredients to bring warmth and depth. Its heat enhances both fruit-forward and savory cocktails, adding complexity and a bold contrast to sweeter flavors.
