1.5 oz lemonade
1.5 oz club soda
1 oz strawberry puree
Garnish: Jalapeño slice, lemon or lime wheel

Instructions for Jalapeño-Infused Vodka:
Ingredients:
1 (750ml) bottle Gray Duck Vodka
1-2 fresh jalapeños (adjust based on spice level)
Glass jar or container with a sealable lid
How to Infuse:
Prepare the Jalapeños:
Wash and dry the jalapeños. Then slice them into thin rounds. For a milder infusion, remove the seeds and membranes; for more heat, leave them intact.
Combine Ingredients:
Place the jalapeño slices into the glass jar. Then pour the Gray Duck Vodka over the jalapeños, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Infuse:
Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake. Let the vodka sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. Taste it after 12 hours to check the heat level.
Strain and Store:
Once the desired spice level is reached, strain the vodka through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the jalapeño slices and seeds. Then transfer the infused vodka back to its original bottle or another clean container and store in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
