Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Vodka
- 3 whole Red chili peppers (e.g., bird's eye or serrano)
- 2 whole Green chili peppers (e.g., jalapeño or poblano)
Instructions
1. Gather your ingredients: vodka and fresh chili peppers.
2. Wash the chili peppers thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue.
3. Slice each chili pepper lengthwise to expose the seeds. For a milder infusion, remove some or all of the seeds depending on your spice tolerance.
4. Place the sliced chili peppers into a clean, dry glass bottle or jar large enough to hold 750 ml of liquid. Ensure the container has an airtight seal.
5. Pour the vodka over the chili peppers, filling the container but leaving a small amount of room at the top to allow for shaking.
6. Seal the container tightly and give it a good shake to evenly distribute the chili flavors.
7. Store the container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Let it infuse for 24 to 48 hours, shaking gently once or twice each day.
8. After infusing, taste the vodka to ensure it has reached your desired level of spice. If it's strong enough, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle, discarding the chili peppers.
9. Seal the bottle tightly and store the infused vodka in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to use.
10. Enjoy your chili-infused vodka in cocktails or as a bold shot.
