Honey Jalapeño Mint Pineapple Spritzer
The sweet and spicy cocktail is the perfect cocktail for summer! It's so refreshing with a hint of mint and a jalapeno bite.
Equipment
- cocktail glasses
- Strainer
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp of honey
- 2 sprig of fresh mint
- 1/2 sliced fresh jalapeño
- 4 oz of pineapple juice, divided
- 3 oz pineapple vodka, divided
- 8 oz tonic water, divided
- Ice
- Sugar
Instructions
- Muddle a sprig of fresh mint and fresh jalapeño in a mixing bowl for 30 seconds.
- Use the leftover portion of jalapeño and cut a small sliver into the pepper and use to moisten the rim of the glass of choice, and coat the rim of the glass with sugar. OR if the pepper is too hot, try using honey to moisten the rim of the glass then coat with sugar. This is my personal favorite!
- Pour seltzer or tonic water and pineapple juice into shaker with crushed or cubed ice.
- Strain muddled mix into glass (remember to keep muddled sprig of mint and jalapeño out)
- Garnish with a generous drizzle of honey, thin slices of jalapeño and sprigs of fresh mint.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Optional (Age 21+): Use pineapple flavored wine in the place of pineapple juice.
- Another option is to add 1.75 oz of Summer Colada. Please drink responsibly.
- If making a batch, double the recipe.
