The Firebird

This is a cocktail made for my brother who likes things spicy but also in honour of my Mother who had a Solar Gold '79 Pontiac Firebird all the years I lived with her.

Created: Spring of 2013

Served: On the rocks.

Ingredients:
 3 oz. Rum
 1 1/2 oz. Tawny Port
 3 dashes Orange Bitters
 1 dash Angostura Bitters
 3 thin slices of HabeƱero Pepper

Process:
 Muddle Pepper slices in both measures of bitters. Add ice cubes, Rum, and Port. Stir vigorously and serve.

Etymology: 
 Named for the color, spice, and in honour of my Mother who insisted she couldn't like a spicy cocktail. Good news, she did!
