Chili-Peach Martini

"I like to have a martini, two at the very most.

After three I'm under the table, after four I'm under my host." ~Dorothy Parker

I love that quote! I found this recipe posted on White On Rice Couple's blog and since I love cocktails and chilies had to give this one a try. It was fantastic! The first time I made them with 1/2 a serrano pepper instead of a whole one and found it to have a nice level of spice and when combined with the sweet of the nectar it was sublime! The second time I made them I used 1/4 of a habanero and a 1/4 of a serrano. I would not recommend this. My lips and the tip of my tongue were ablaze! If your looking for something different this is it! These are definitely addictive (see quote below)!
