How to Make Habanero Vodka

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 4 large habanero peppers. Quarter the peppers.
  2. Place the quartered habaneros in a clean 1-liter glass bottle or jar.
  3. Carefully pour 1 liter of high-quality vodka over the peppers, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Seal the bottle or jar tightly.
  5. Store the mixture in a cool, dark place for at least six months, shaking gently every few weeks.
  6. After six months (or longer, for a more intense flavor), strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined funnel into a clean bottle. Discard the peppers.
  7. Enjoy responsibly! Your homemade habanero vodka will have a beautiful orange hue and a deliciously spicy kick. Experiment with different cocktail recipes or enjoy it neat.
