Quarter a couple of jalapeno peppers, remove the seeds and pith, jam them into a big bottle of gin and leave it sit for as long as you can.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes and the gin. Add a dash of dry vermouth, about 1/12 as much vermouth as you've got gin.
Shake it up and strain into a Martini glass.
Surprisingly hot, and good for you too! Maybe use just one pepper...

There's a brewery in Cave Creek AZ that brews Chili Beer. They put a jalapeno in the bottle before they cap it.

You need a regular beer in your other hand

...hmmmmmmmmmm, seems if it were to be a Cajun Martini you would need to be using Tabasco Peppers instead of Jalapeno's...just a thought

I may have to try that. Since it's good for me.

If anyone wants to try this with habanero peppers, let me know. The one healthy pepper plant in the garden is producing these peppers (MANY of them). Deadly critters!
I've picked a few, ran them through a blender, added water, strained them and am using the juice as bug spray to kill palmetto bugs/roaches. Very effective but you have to hold your breath as you spray.

Maybe a Mexican Martini?
My wife gets Mexican Martinis. They are basically a Margarita on the rocks, but you get the whole shaker with it.

On the topic of martinis......
"If everything goes as planned, these cocktails may make their way onto Eve's short list, alongside Eamonn's Cocktail, a bracing rickey made with Irish whiskey and a red lemonade that chef Armstrong used to drink as a boy in Dublin,
and the stunning pickled martini, "based on my grandmother's pickle recipe," which contains sweet pickle juice, vodka infused with fennel (to balance the tartness) and topped with a frothy mountain of whipped pickle juice that's almost sudsy in texture."
