Refreshing lime tang, with a subtle spice…
Want a delicious sipping cocktail that provides a little extra “somethin’ somethin'” to its drinking experience? Look no further than a spicy jalapeño gimlet. It’s refreshing, as a gimlet should be, with its fresh lime. But behind that lime is a little kick of jalapeño pepper that tickles the tastebuds. This is not an extreme cocktail – think more subtle heat here – provided by jalapeño simple syrup.
You can purchase your own jalapeño simple syrup, or make your own (see our recipe here).
