Spicy Orange Daiquiri

Daiquiris have been drunk by manly men such as Earnest Hemingway but I could never get over how girly they seemed. This one has a bit more bite because of the hot pepper yet it’s still girly looking. Oh well.

Ingredients:

• 1/8th of a Orange
• ½ lime
• ¼ Ounce Agave Nectar
• 2 Ounces of Rum (sometimes I put 1 ounce white 1 ounce Dark Rum for more depth)
• ½ ounce pepper Vodka *see recipe below

Squeeze the Orange and Lime into the glass part of your Boston Shaker then add the rest of the ingredients (I usually eyeball the Agave Nectar because its so sticky) and shake vigorously with ice. Double strain into your glass of choice and garnish with a sliver of orange.

*Pepper Vodka Recipe:

Put one yellow pepper, one jalapeno pepper sliced it (removing seeds) into a Bell Jar. Add a good quality Vodka (no need for high end) into the jar to the top. Close the jar and shake. leave the ingredients in for about a day then strain into a bottle.

You can do this in a larger jar with more alcohol but just make sure it infuses for a long enough time. The above recipe is for a quick batch.

I’ll make a detailed larger batch post in the future.
