How to Make Chile Pepper Vodka
- Select and clean your chiles. (For a milder flavor, use 2-3 jalapeños. For a spicier version, use 2-3 serrano or other chiles of your choice. Adjust quantity to taste.)
- Carefully slice the chiles into 1/4-inch thick rounds. (Avoid slicing your fingers!)
- Add the sliced chiles to a clean 750ml bottle of your favorite vodka.
- Seal the bottle tightly and gently shake to distribute the chiles.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least one week, or up to two weeks for a more intense flavor.
- After the infusion period, taste the vodka. If it is not spicy enough to your liking, let it infuse for a few more days. Add more chiles if necessary at this stage.
- Once you've reached your desired level of spiciness, strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined funnel into a clean bottle. Discard the chiles.
- Your homemade Southwestern Chile Pepper Vodka is ready to enjoy! Use it in your favorite cocktails or Bloody Marys.
