High Octane Martini

1. 1

   Place about 6 small ice cubes in a metal shaker.

2. 2

   Pour in the vodka and vermouth and shake for at least 30 seconds.

3. 3

   The longer you shake, the more water will mix into the drink, as the ice cubes melt.

4. 4

   Shaking for less than 30 seconds will produce a drink that is too powerful, with the alcohol overpowering the taste of the pepper.

5. 5

   Strain into a 4 ounce cocktail glass and drop in 1 or 2 jalapeno stuffed olives.

6. 6

   Any olive brine still dripping from the olive(s) will add to the taste complexity of the drink.

7. 7

   *If you don't have pepper vodka, such as Absolut Peppar, you can substitute regular vodka and add a couple of dashes of Tabasco sauce.
