Hot Pepper Infusion

Prepare the Peppers
Wash the Jeptha Creed hot peppers thoroughly under cold water. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise while wearing gloves to avoid skin irritation.

Infuse the Vodka
In a clean glass jar, combine the sliced hot peppers, peeled garlic cloves, and honey. Pour the vodka over the ingredients until they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

Let it Infuse
Store the sealed jar in a cool, dark place for at least 7 days, shaking it gently every couple of days to mix the ingredients. The longer it infuses, the spicier it will become.

Strain the Mixture
After 7 days, strain the infused vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Add fresh lime juice to the infused vodka and mix well.
