Habanero-Infused Vodka


One of my favorite things to do is experiment with infusion...alcohol, vinegars, oils, etc. I was fortunate enough to pick two perfectly ripe habanero peppers in the garden yesterday, so habanero-vodka it is! So easy to do and makes the best Bloody Mary you'll ever have.

You can start with any-old vodka...we had some Koenig Potato Vodka on hand. Pour the amount you want to infuse into a glass container, mason jar works great. Take your fresh habanero and split it halfway down the middle (leave it intact, but splitting it will expose the seeds and infuse your vodka with more heat). As a guide, use 1-2 peppers per pint of vodka. For this go around, we used 2 peppers and it was H-O-T, but delicious.

For your drinking satisfaction, try this fantastic homemade Bloody Mary concoction.
