Ingredients

• 750 ml Vodka
• 2 medium-sized Jalapeño peppers
• 2 medium-sized Red chili peppers
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 zested lime Lime zest
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

1. Wash the jalapeño and red chili peppers thoroughly. Slice them lengthwise and remove some or all of the seeds, depending on your desired spice level. Set aside.

Step 2

2. Peel the garlic cloves and gently crush them using the side of a knife to release their flavor.

Step 3

3. In a clean, dry glass container (like a mason jar or bottle) with a tight-fitting lid, combine the sliced jalapeño and red chili peppers, crushed garlic cloves, lime zest, ground cumin, and smoked paprika.

Step 4

4. Pour the vodka into the container, ensuring that all ingredients are fully submerged in the liquid. Stir gently with a spoon to distribute the spices.

Step 5

5. Seal the container tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 24 to 48 hours. Shake the container gently every 12 hours to help the flavors infuse evenly.

Step 6

6. After the desired infusion time, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle or jar, discarding the solids.

Step 7

7. Store the infused vodka in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Serve it on its own, or use it to create spicy cocktails like a Bloody Mary or a Tex Mex-inspired margarita!
