Infused Vodka

Cocktail Mix

Method

Infused Vodka Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vodka Infusion

    In a clean glass jar, combine the Belvedere vodka and whole habanero peppers. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours, tasting occasionally until the desired spiciness is achieved.

  2. 2

    Strain the Infusion

    After the infusion period, strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the habaneros. Store the infused vodka in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Fresh Ingredients

    Cut the fresh pineapple into small chunks and if needed, blend until smooth to create a pineapple puree. Measure out 60 ml of fresh lime juice.

  2. 4

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 60 ml of the pineapple puree, 60 ml of fresh lime juice, and 30 ml of agave syrup. Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. 5

    Add Infused Vodka

    Pour in 120 ml of the habanero-infused vodka to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until chilled.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge or a slice of lime if desired. Enjoy your spicy Pineapple Habanero cocktail!
