So I sliced up some douglahs to dry out on the window sill and then later on this evening cut up a lime to put into my Sunday gin & tonic(s)...lo and behold, my drinks are spicy. Like noticeably spicy. If that's not proof of how hot douglahs are, I don't know what is. Trace capsaicin oil on the knife blade is funny, although when I cut them open, i noticed in all of the peppers very distinct globs of capsaicin goo. Potent shit.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

was it enjoyably spicy?
Gin and tonic season is any month that I like to drink the best drink ever created...which is always. I would upload pics, but I'm on number 3 and alcohol makes me lazy. Maybe tomorrow I'll upload a pic of one of the best douglah specimens. Seriously though, I cut them up, and when I got back to my apartment, I opened the door and was greeted with the smell of nasty hot peppers. Again, potent shit. All I did was cut them in half!
And yes, it was a pleasant throat burn..enough to know that I would ever eat one of those things whole.
+1!
Have you ever made a puree? I would suggest warning your neighbors! LOL
Love that smell though!
Oh my!
Why ruin the gin with tonic? Double Hendrick's on ice.
I occasionally make a gin gimlet with just the smallest splash of tonic water. Typically it's 3oz of good gin (Beefeater these days...t's a solid brand that doesn't cost a fortune), juice from 1/4 lime, and then the splash of tonic. Nice to sip on. Gotta love that Juniper twang!
