Jalapeño Infused Vodka
Made with your favorite vodka and jalapeño peppers, this infused vodka adds a fiery twist to this classic cocktail, elevating its flavor profile and giving it a spicy kick. You can make it as spicy or mild as you like, depending on how long you let the jalapeños marinate in the vodka. Make a double batch so you can make a Jalapeño Moscow Mule.

How to Make a Jalapeno Bloody Mary
Here is a brief overview of how a jalapeño bloody mary comes together. For the full recipe including all measurements, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Fill a glass with ice. Add all of the ingredients to the ice-filled glass.

Homemade Bloody Mary Mix
I give the recipe for making a tomato-based bloody mary mix from scratch in this recipe, but you could also whip up a batch of my bloody mary mix recipe to keep on hand. Making your own mix is the best way to control the flavor and skip the added preservatives and sweeteners of store-bought mixes. It can be used to make a regular bloody mary or a spicy bloody mary cocktail with jalapeno vodka!
To make this spicy bloody mary recipe with mix, simply combine one cup of bloody mary mix with one ounce of jalapeño vodka.

Serving Bloody Marys
Part of the fun of serving and drinking bloody marys is in the garnishes. From veggies to cheese cubes to a full cheeseburger, people sure get creative! Rim your glass or top it with some celery salt if desired. Here are some bloody mary garnishes:
- Pickle spears
- Green olives
- Celery stalk
- Bacon
- Asparagus
- Jalapeño slices
Adding More Spice
You can add more heat to this cocktail by adding hot sauce or tabasco sauce. I recommend trying the drink first, then adding sauce in small amounts as needed.
