New Amsterdam X Hot Ones Heat Check Hot Pepper Vodka

New Amsterdam x Hot Ones Heat Check Hot Pepper Vodka is a collaboration between New Amsterdam Vodka and the Hot Ones YouTube series — five-times-distilled, three-times-filtered California grain vodka infused with three types of chili peppers: earthy Serrano, fruity Fresno, and the bright, fruity heat of Habanero, producing a layered and complex spicy vodka built for Bloody Marys, spicy cocktails, and adventurous shots.

Hot Ones — the First We Feast YouTube series hosted by Sean Evans where celebrity guests eat progressively hotter wings while being interviewed — is one of the most-watched food series on YouTube. The collaboration with New Amsterdam brings the same layered, building heat philosophy of the show to a vodka that combines three distinct pepper varieties for earthy, fruity, and bright heat in one bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to use Heat Check?

Spicy Bloody Marys are the primary application — the three-pepper blend adds complexity and natural heat that pre-made spicy vodkas or hot sauce additions can't replicate. It also works well in spicy Margarita variations, Moscow Mules with a heat component, and as a bold shot for those who enjoy hot sauce culture.
