Step 1: Make the jalapeño simple syrup. Dissolve your sugar in water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the jalapeños, remove from heat, and let them steep for 30 minutes. Strain the syrup after steeping. Step 2: Juice your lemons.
Squeeze the limes. Place the jalapeño into a cocktail shaker and muddle until broken down. Add in some ice, the freshly pressed lime juice, simple syrup, and tequila. Shake until combined and strain into a small glass over ice. Garnish with an extra slice of jalapeño and lime if desired.
In the spicy pineapple shandy, jalapeño syrup is paired with tequila, lemon and pineapple juices, and a pale ale beer for a refreshing summer drink. This creative pineapple jalapeño margarita recipe adds lime juice to the syrup. It rims the glass with sea salt, sugar, and smoked paprika and garnishes the cocktail with a candied jalapeño.
This particular recipe uses either turbinado or demerara sugar, two types of raw sugar. They have a richer flavor than standard white sugar, which makes them an ideal foundation to stand up to the heat of chile peppers. Also, in order to combat the spice of the jalapeño, you need a rich simple syrup —meaning it uses twice as much sugar as water.
