CAJUN MARTINI

Steps:

• First, make the jalapeno vodka: cut the whole pepper lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Drop pepper slices and seeds into vodka bottle and replace cap. Let stand at least 1 hour, but flavor will be strongest after 6 hours. Keep refrigerate, if desired, for future use.
• Once jalapeno vodka is ready, place 1/2 cup jalapeno vodka and remaining ingredients (except for garnish) in pitcher or cocktail shaker. Stir or shake gently, then strain into 2 martini glasses. Garnish with sliced jalapeno.
