Jalapeño Infused Vodka is such an easy recipe to make and puts such a fun spin on cocktails.
Vodka is such a versatile base to start with since it absorbs flavors beautifully and infusing it with various flavors adds a great twist to regular cocktails.
How to Make Jalapeno Infused Vodka
- Simply add one sliced jalapeño pepper to a cup of vodka.
- Glass jars with tight lids work best for infusing vodka. Once you’ve combined your jalepeno with your vodka, screw the lid on tight and give it a good shake.
- Allow the flavors to really marinate together. The longer you let sit, the stronger it’ll taste. I recommend letting it infuse for 8 to 24 hours.
- For a milder flavor, let it sit for about an hour.
- Once you’ve achieved your desired flavor you can strain the vodka with a mesh strainer and a funnel.
- Add to any number of delicious cocktail recipes.

If I wanted to give the Jalapeño vodka as a Christmas gift to friends, how long would it last in the bottle I gave to them in?
I would have to try it to give you a solid answer. That being said, if I were doing this, I would slice up at least six jalapeños for a jar of vodka. Then I would let it sit for at least 24 hours. And then I would remove all of the jalapeños and filter the vodka with a cheese cloth. Doing all that, I would suggest that they store the vodka in the freezer and it should be good to go.
