Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vodka
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 1 ounce Dry vermouth
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lemon twist (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the jalapeño peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder heat, or leave the seeds intact for extra spiciness.
In a clean mason jar or any airtight container, combine the vodka and the sliced jalapeño peppers.
Seal the jar and let it infuse at room temperature for 24-48 hours, depending on your desired spice level. Shake the jar occasionally to mix the flavors.
Once infused to your liking, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth to remove the jalapeño solids. Store the infused vodka in a sealed bottle or jar.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 3 ounces of the jalapeño-infused vodka and 1 ounce of dry vermouth.
Shake or stir the mixture according to your preference (shaking makes it colder and slightly frothy, while stirring ensures clarity).
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist if desired and serve immediately.
