Ingredients

• 750 ml Vodka (unflavored)
• 2 pieces Fresh habanero peppers
• 1 pair Gloves (optional, for handling chilies)
• 1 piece Air-tight glass jar (large enough to hold 750 ml of liquid)

Directions

Step 1

1. Wash the habanero peppers thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues.

Step 2

2. Put on gloves (optional but recommended) and slice the habaneros into thin rings. Remove the seeds for a milder infusion or leave them in for extra heat.

Step 3

3. Place the sliced habaneros into a clean air-tight glass jar.

Step 4

4. Pour the vodka into the jar, ensuring the habaneros are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

Step 5

5. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 24 to 48 hours. Shake the jar gently once or twice a day to help the infusion process.

Step 6

6. After your preferred infusion time (taste-test to determine spice level), strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve, coffee filter, or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the pepper pieces.

Step 7

7. Discard the habaneros and reseal the jar or bottle with the infused vodka.

Step 8

8. Store the habanero vodka in a cool, dark place again. It’s now ready to use in cocktails such as Bloody Marys, spicy martinis, or any recipe that needs a fiery kick!
