Jalapeno Infused Vodka Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by washing the jalapeno peppers thoroughly. Depending on your heat preference, you can remove the seeds and membrane for a milder infusion or leave them intact for a spicier result.
• STEP 2.Slice the jalapenos into thin rings or small pieces.
• STEP 3.Place the sliced jalapenos into a clean, airtight glass jar or bottle. Pour the vodka over the jalapenos, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar or bottle tightly.
• STEP 4.Store the jar or bottle in a cool, dark place for 2-3 days. During this time, the vodka will absorb the flavor and heat of the jalapenos.

Serving Tips

• Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the infused vodka into a clean bottle or jar to remove any remaining jalapeno pieces.
• Use your homemade jalapeno-infused vodka to craft spicy cocktails like Jalapeno Margaritas, Spicy Bloody Marys, or even a unique twist on a Moscow Mule by mixing it with ginger beer and lime.
• For those who enjoy a fiery kick, serve the jalapeno-infused vodka as a shot. Rim the shot glass with salt or a chili-lime seasoning for an extra flavor dimension.
