Infuse Vodka

1. Pour off a few ounces of vodka to make room for the peppers
2. Add the sliced peppers (using gloves!) to the vodka, cap and infuse at room temperature for at least 24 hours. The longer the vodka sits with the peppers, the spicier it will become!

Make Cocktail

1. Dip the rim of a cocktail glass in citrus juice. Rim with Creole seasoning, then fill with ice
2. Add celery salt, Creole seasoning and 2 oz infused vodka per drink
3. Add remaining ingredients in amounts according to taste preference
4. Stir well & garnish
