I give it a 3 because as is, it is terribly hot (and I love hot!) but it is so hot that there's no true chili flavor, only the burn of the spices. You'd be better off sucking on a jalapeno IMO. BUT, I did change it a bit and won a cook-off with it. I had people who competed in the cookoff calling and emailing me asking for the recipe (my version) which, I have to say, I'm so proud of that I did not give it out!

I made this for a bridal shower I was hosting and EVERYONE raved!! In fact, there was a variety of drinks available including mimosas and this drink was the most sought after. I took note of the other reviews posted and used a bottle of Riesling for the white wine and instead of cranberry frozen concentrate, I used a can of White Grape & Raspberry concentrate. I kept everything else as listed in the ingredients list. You won't need the suggested half cup of sugar if you go with a Riesling but you will if you use a regular white wine. I stuck with club soda instead of gingerale and it was perfect!! You will definitely have many people asking for the recipe!!!!!!!!!! P.S.-- make sure the concentrates are completely thawed prior to mixing.
