High Octane Martini

Directions

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.
