1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Wash the fresh jalapeños thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and slice them in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, you can remove the seeds.
2
Make Jalapeño Juice
In a blender, combine the prepared jalapeños, water, salt, and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to separate the juice from the pulp.
3
Combine with Olive Brine
In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeño juice with the olive brine. Mix well until fully incorporated.
4
Season with Black Pepper
Add the black peppercorns to the mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or olive brine to suit your taste.
5
Refrigerate
Transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar with a lid. Seal it tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Serve
Once chilled, serve the Hot & Dirty as a cocktail mixer or a spicy condiment. Enjoy it straight or add it to your favorite cocktails like a Bloody Mary.
