The late Manuel V�zquez Montalb�n once said, "No one has ever succeeded at seduction by means of food alone." He was probably right. But then again, he never had a chili-spiked AMASS cocktail.

Chili peppers, because of their high amount of the endorphins-releasing component capsaicin, are known aphrodisiacs. It's oft-debated how much they actually spur desire, but this much at least is sure: the placebo effect is very, very real.
