Chili Infused Vodka

Total Time: 168 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 168 hrs

Ingredients

• 750 ml vodka
• 3 -4 jalapenos
• 3 -4 red chilies
• 3 -4 green chilies
• 3 -4 habaneros (this is for the true hothead, adjust accordingly)
• 2 -3 tablespoons dried chipotle chiles (i buy them in flakes like red chili flakes which can be substituted if you can't find these)
• 1 lime
• 2 inches fresh horseradish, peeled
• 2 -3 tablespoons peppercorns

Recipe

• 1 quarter all the fresh peppers and the horseradish. if you want to reduce the heat, seed and stem the peppers. you can really use any combination and quantity of peppers. i used the 4 of each and it produced a brilliant heat level with an amazing taste.
• 2 take your lime and make about twenty slits in the peel all over the lime.
• 3 put all the ingredients into a clean, sterilized wide mouthed jar. using a wide mouthed jar (like a mason jar) just makes it easier to get everything in and out.
• 4 put the vodka in a cool, dark place. cover with a dish cloth if you like.
• 5 every day, shake it.
• 6 let the vodka sit at least one week then strain the vodka through cheesecloth and enjoy. i use 1 ½ oz of the vodka, about a tbsp of worcestershire, a tsp of celery seeds, a little salt and top it off with clamato (or tomato juice) for a nice fiery beverage.
