It all started while living on the gulf coast of Florida. I had a friend who grew various kinds of hot peppers. He was infusing liquor with his home grown peppers, and sharing it with friends. It was delicious! About that same time, I was visiting one of Florida’s theme parks. While taking a break to relax from the crowds, we decided to sit a while and enjoy a drink. The menu included a habanero margarita, so after very little thought I had to try that! It was great! But of course more research was needed. I ordered a second habanero margarita, this time I watched how it was made. The bartender used a habanero flavored simple syrup. It gave a nice flavor, and a little heat. The one problem… way too much sugar! That is when I set out to make a better way.

I wanted to make a flavor enhancement for beverages, as well as food that didn’t add all that sugar. Vodou Juice was born. A flavor enhancer that adds more flavor, a warming sensation, and a lot more fun!
