JALAPENO KISS

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ oz. Cachaca or Karma Tequila

Handful of Diced Cucumber

3 Jalapeno Slices

½ oz. Triple Sec

½ oz. Fresh Ginger Syrup

½ oz. Sweet sour

Fresh Ground Black Pepper

PREPARATION:

In a mixing glass place the Cucumber, Jalapeño, Ginger Syrup and Sweet & Sour and start muddling. Throughout the muddling process keep checking the level of spiciness and STOP muddling when you feel the spiciness is at the level you will enjoy most. I like it SPICY so I muddle the heck out of those jalapeños! Now let’s add the Triple Sec and Tequila (or Cachaca) and a scoop of ice and shake it hard for 5 fast seconds. Lastly, strain and pour into a long drink glass on the rocks and right before serving top it off with a little fresh ground black pepper.

The color is lemonade yellow and the aroma is full of pepper and spice…it’s like a not so subtle reminder to you that your mouth is about to get a kick in the teeth! The taste is uniquely refreshing and super addicting because each sip leaves your mouth tingling from the jalapeno pepper.. leaving you thirsty for more!
