A scorching spicy cocktail…

Is the jalapeño martini just not enough spice? Then amp up your spicy cocktail repertoire with this tequila-based habanero martini! This is not just a step up (for that try subbing in serrano peppers for jalapeños in this vodka martini recipe); this is another territory all-together, at least 12 times spicier and the potential for a whole heck of a lot more.

The habanero pepper also adds a slight sweetness to the cocktail. For those adventurous enough, it’s a tasty twist to the classic.
