Some major American chefs offer variations on this theme under different names at pretty steep prices. You can make your own, and earn your own fame, for a much lower cost.

Ingredients

  • 1 liter decent vodka
  • 3 to 4 fresh serranos or jalapeños, split
  • Twists of lime peel or green olives<

Method

  1. In a bottle or jar, combine the vodka and chiles and cover. Let the mixture steep at room temperature for a minimum of 3 days.
  2. Transfer the vodka to the freezer and allow it to chill thoroughly. (It won’t freeze.) Serve straight up or over ice, garnished with a twist of lime or olive, martini style.
