Channel Specialty Retail Yield 750ml Tier 3–4 days · Medium 🌶️🌶️
Ingredients
- 750ml Tito's
- 4 fresh jalapeños, stemmed and halved lengthwise (seeds in for full Peppar; half-seeded for medium)
- 2 dried red chiles (chile de árbol or dried cayenne), broken in half
- 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns (Tellicherry), toasted
- 1 tsp Hungarian sweet paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 small bay leaf
- ½ tsp sea salt
Method
- Stage 1 — Toast peppercorns: dry skillet 30–45 sec, lightly crack.
- Stage 2 — Prep peppers: GLOVES. Halve jalapeños lengthwise. Medium heat: scrape half seeds/ribs. Full Peppar: leave seeds in. Break dried chiles in half.
- Stage 3 — Single infusion (24–36 hrs): all in 1L jar, room temp. Taste at 24, again at 30. Heat builds fast with fresh jalapeños. CRITICAL: do not exceed 48 hrs.
- Stage 4 — Strain + filter + rest + bottle (same as Black Pepper Vodka).
