Ice Cold Heat – Shogun Assassin Cocktail

Like your drinks with a little bit of heat? This one will give you just what you are looking for. I had originally tried this cocktail at a local restaurant, Buddha Sky Bar, and loved the ice cold spicy heat so I decided to try making it at home. It turned out to be easy to make and is definitely a drink to remember. Let me know how you like it.
