Preparation

  1. 1

    Make Jalapeno Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1 cup each) and add sliced jalapenos to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and strain out jalapenos. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Drink

    Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz of Seedlip Garden, 1 oz of lime juice, and 0.5 oz of jalapeno simple syrup. If using, add 2 oz of Ketel One Orange Vodka.

  3. 3

    Mix and Serve

    Top the mixture with 4 oz of tonic water. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Garnish with a lime wedge or jalapeno slice if desired.
