I've been enjoying this cocktail recently. I'm usually a gin martini drinker, vodka isn't in my regular rotation. I had a few really nice peppers from the farmer's market and decided to give this a try. I used Sobieski vodka and infused a big split, fresh jalapeno for 8 hours. Mixed about 3:1 vodka with Martini & Rossi dry vermouth; its oregano-leaning profile is a natural fit. Garnished with a spicy pickle. The fruity sweetness & tingly capsaicin made a great combo!
