With the sun coming out, we’re all in need of nice cool drink. Here’s the recipe for an ECB Special; The Spicy Hibiscus Sunrise 🌺 🌅, made using Sweetened Hibiscus Juice by Spicegrove. This is a variation of the typical Madras cocktail, which is a mix of Vodka, OJ, and Cranberry Juice. In this recipe, the Cranberry Juice is substituted for ’Spicegrove Roselle,’ thus maintaining the tart contrast, while adding the drink’s spice blend to the flavor profile. The “Sunrise” in the name refers to the presence of Orange Juice. No grand stories there, just wanted to share a cocktail naming convention.

I LOVE pumpkin! 🎃 I'm a sucker for "Pumpkin Everything Season", when everybody is making pumpkin flavored and pumpkin scented. Pumpkin Lattes, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin lotions, pumpkin candles, pumpkin everything! Pumpkin is one of my favorite vegetables. Its amazingly versatile (hence why its used in almost everything 😉). I met Sufia, owner of Silly Chilly Hot Sauce, in early October 2017. After tasting all three flavors I was inspired with the possibilities of recipes. People in general are often intimidated by Hot Sauce, afraid of the burn and potential hurt. While that fear is not unreasonable, they don't know what they are missing out on. So to help make Silly Chilly Hot Sauce feel more accessible, I wanted to share the recipes I used the Hot Sauce in. The following recipe is one of my favorite recipes for Fall, Pumpkin Stew with Apples and Chorizo. I loved the smoothness of the pumpkin balanced with the sweetness of the apples and spiciness of the sausage. I knew the Smoky flavor of the Serrano & Chipotle Hot Sauce would give it an extra kick. Ingredients: Meat of 2 medium sized pumpkins * 2 Gala Apples, cored and diced 2 Spanish Onions, diced 1 TBSP Butter 1 7 oz package of Chorizo Sausage Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste 1 or 2 TBSP of Silly Chilly Serrano & Chipotle Hot Sauce 1 32 oz box of low sodium Vegetable Broth * Salt & Pepper to taste Shredded Parmigiano Reggiano or Shredded Cheddar * Substitutions & Variations: If you don't have fresh pumpkins to roast, use two 15 oz cans of Pumpkin. You can use Beef or Chicken Broth as well Directions:
Serves 4 to 6 people. Want to try this recipe yourself? Order Silly Chilly Hot Sauce here and we'll send you a recipe card with your order!
