Yes Ive read about making oleoresin but it all seems a bit time consuming..Weeks!
This way looks quick and easy.. I`m not only into hot sauces but also Szechuan chili oil.
This method looks quick and simple and a  way to make a good base for either..Or even just an additive to add instant heat to... whatever.
No one tried this?

It didn't separate as the picture in OP..(even after 2 days) so I slowly reduced the vodka by simmering it in a saucepan and added some Italian spaghetti sauce to it.. Tastes good and as hot as anything else I've tried.
The peppers I used were Silang labuyo which obviously don't have anywhere near the oil content of Habs..I`m guessing that's why it didn't separate?
