Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the jalapeños thoroughly and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor if desired.
Make the Vanilla Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and add it to the saucepan. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
Combine and Strain
After 5 days, strain the jalapeño-infused vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Discard the jalapeños.
Mix the Liqueur
Add the cooled vanilla syrup to the strained vodka. Stir well until combined.
Bottle and Serve
Transfer the liqueur to a clean bottle. For best flavor, let it sit for an additional 2 weeks before serving. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
