How to Make Chili Infused Vodka

  1. Quarter 4 jalapeño peppers, 4 serrano peppers, and 1 large horseradish root. (Adjust quantities to control heat level)
  2. For reduced heat, remove seeds and stems from the peppers.
  3. Score a lime zest by making 20 slits in the peel.
  4. Combine 4 quartered jalapeño peppers, 4 quartered serrano peppers, 1 quartered horseradish root, and 1 lime (scored zest only, leave the flesh) in a clean, sterilized, wide-mouthed jar.
  5. Add 750ml (25.4 oz) of high-quality vodka to the jar.
  6. Seal the jar (or cover loosely with a cheesecloth secured with a rubber band).
  7. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking gently daily.
  8. After 7 days (or up to 2 weeks for a more intense flavor), strain the vodka through cheesecloth into a clean container.
  9. Enjoy your chili-infused vodka! Use it in your favorite cocktails or as a unique gift.
