How to Make Cajun Martini

  1. **Infuse the Vodka:** Halve the jalapeño lengthwise, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Remove seeds for less heat (optional).
  2. **Add to Vodka:** Add jalapeño slices to a clean 750ml vodka bottle. Seal tightly.
  3. **Infusion Time:** Let the jalapeño infuse in the vodka for at least 1 hour in a cool, dark place. For a bolder flavor, infuse for 6-24 hours. Refrigerate for later use.
  4. **Prepare the Martini:** Once infused, strain the jalapeño vodka to remove pepper pieces. (You may reserve the pepper infused vodka for another use.)
  5. **Combine Ingredients:** In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine ½ cup jalapeño-infused vodka, 1 ounce fresh lime juice, and ¾ ounce simple syrup.
  6. **Shake it Up:** Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  7. **Strain & Serve:** Strain into two chilled martini glasses.
  8. **Garnish:** Garnish each martini with a thin jalapeño slice. Enjoy responsibly!
