1
Prepare the Habanero Vodka
Slice the habanero peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder infusion. Place the sliced habaneros into a clean glass jar and pour the Belvedere Vodka over them. Seal the jar tightly.
2
Infusion Time
Allow the vodka to infuse for 24-48 hours at room temperature, tasting periodically until it reaches your desired level of heat.
3
Strain the Vodka
Once infused, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer to remove the habaneros. Store the infused vodka in a clean bottle.

4
Prepare the Ingredients
Cut the fresh pineapple into chunks and measure out 1 cup. Squeeze the juice from fresh limes to get 2 tablespoons of juice.
5
Mix the Cocktail
In a shaker, combine the pineapple chunks, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and 2 ounces of the habanero-infused vodka. Muddle the pineapple to release its juice.
6
Shake it Up
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
7
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice.

8
Add the Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a pineapple wedge and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.
