A Spicy Fifty is a cocktail containing vanilla-flavored vodka with elderflower cordial, lime juice, honey syrup, and red chili pepper.

[1][2][3] To prepare, the ingredients are added to a cocktail shaker and shaken with ice.

[10][11][12] It is described as sweet with a spicy finish that pairs well with Asian fusion cuisine.

[10] Salvatore Calabrese created the cocktail in 2004-2005 as his signature drink for the first menu of the bar FIFTY that opened in February 2005.

[14] Calabrese was influenced by Jean-George Vongerichten, a Michelin-starred chef, who made dishes where chili was a prominent ingredient.
