It was a cold winter night in Anchorage.

[trof]

The snow was two feet deep.
I slid into my favorite dive bar, Darwin's Revenge.
I sat down at the small U shaped bar and asked the bartenderess for a beer.
Darwin's staff was all female.

Half way through my beer a guy on the other side of the U shouted "RED HOTS! FOR THE BAR!"

The bartender started pouring shots.
Turned out it was cinnamon schnapps.
Then she slugged each shot with a generous dollop of Tabasco.
And passed them out.
They tasted just like the red hot candies.

Try it on a cold winter night.
You'll like it.

5. First time I had ever heard of and also drank peppermint schnapps was

during a Halloween Party treasure hunt over 40 years ago.

Part of the directions took the treasure hunters (we were in groups of three) to a small very real pioneer cemetery and a specific grave.

There was a pint mason jar with a clear liquid that said drink this before proceeding.

Fun game. I don't recall much else except I was dressed as a box of Brillo pads.

Almost. Not quite.
