Reviews
Interesting flavors, but kind of grows on you. Would try again, maybe with fresh grapefruit juice.
This is so yummy. Super easy. I did not plan ahead and only steeped the jalapeno in the simple syrup about 5-10 minutes. It still had a lot of flavor. I did remove the seeds to reduce the heat. I also tried this with grey goose vodka instead of tequila.
