Find dried apricots at health food stores or bulk bins. Use fresh, high-quality citrus for the best flavor. For chili powder, choose a brand that suits your desired heat level. You can adjust the sugar to taste, depending on your apricot sweetness.
Substitute orange marmalade for some of the sugar and orange juice for a deeper flavor. If you prefer less heat, start with 0.5 teaspoon chili powder and adjust to taste. For a smoother chamoy, blend the mixture until completely smooth after cooking.
Store homemade chamoy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It thickens as it cools, so thin with a little water if needed before serving. Shake well before using as the ingredients may separate during storage.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Stoli Chamoy
Let me guide you through making this spicy twist on the vodka classic, perfect for 4 servings.
👨🍳 Step 1: Rehydrate the Dried Apricots
Start by rehydrating 1 cup of dried apricots in 0.25 cup of water. I like to let them soak for at least 30 minutes until they become soft and plump. This step is crucial as it helps to release their natural sweetness and makes them blend smoothly into the chamoy.
You’ll know they’re ready when they’re no longer hard and have absorbed most of the water. Drain and rinse them before using.
👨🍳 Step 2: Blend the Apricots with Juices and Sugar
In a blender, combine the rehydrated apricots, 0.5 cup of orange juice, and 0.25 cup of lime juice. I prefer using freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Add 0.5 cup of granulated sugar and blend until smooth.
The mixture should be well combined and the sugar fully dissolved. If you prefer a sweeter chamoy, you can adjust the sugar to taste.
🔥 Step 3: Add Chili Powder and Salt, Then Simmer
Transfer the blended mixture to a saucepan and add 1 tsp of chili powder and 0.25 tsp of salt. I like to adjust the amount of chili powder based on my desired level of heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chamoy thickens slightly and reduces a bit. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
⏰ Step 4: Cool and Strain the Chamoy
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chamoy cool to room temperature. This step is important as it allows the flavors to meld together and the mixture to thicken further.
Once cooled, strain the chamoy through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, refined sauce.
🍽️ Step 5: Serve with Stoli Vodka
To serve, pour Stoli vodka into glasses and rim them with a mixture of salt and chili powder, if desired. Drizzle the chamoy sauce over the vodka or serve it on the side for dipping. I like to garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of chili powder for extra flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your Stoli Chamoy, a perfect blend of spicy and sweet that elevates the classic vodka experience.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Stoli Chamoy
These simple tips will help you achieve a delicious and spicy Stoli Chamoy that’s perfect for elevating your vodka experience.
Apricot Preparation: In Step 1, when rehydrating the dried apricots, make sure to use warm water to speed up the process. Letting them soak for at least 30 minutes will help release their natural sweetness. If you’re short on time, you can soak them in hot water for 10-15 minutes. 💡
Blending: When blending the apricots with juices and sugar in Step 2, use a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth mixture. If you prefer a chunkier chamoy, you can blend it for a shorter time or use an immersion blender.
Spice Level: In Step 3, adjust the amount of chili powder to your desired level of heat. Start with 1 tsp and add more to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
Storage: After straining the chamoy in Step 4, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months and thaw it when needed.
