Here's a recipe I found on rec.food.recipes, anyone else have recipes for
chile cocktails?

In a small pan bring sugar, water, chili, zest, and ginger root to a slow
boil over low heat. Cool syrup slightly and pour through a fine sieve into
a small bowl.

In a cocktail shaker combine 1 teaspoon syrup, reserving remainder for
another use, with vodka and club soda and shake well. Pour mixture into a
wine glass filled halfway with ice and garnish with orange twist.

Makes 1 drink.
