Liven up your cocktails…

There are so many flavors going on in a well-made jalapeƱo mojito: It’s minty fresh, sugary sweet, tangy, and yes…spicy! It tastes like vacation – a relaxing escape somewhere tropical and warm. The heat is just enough to remind you that this isn’t your typical mojito, yet subtle enough to letĀ those traditional mojito flavors still take center stage. ControlĀ the spiceĀ by increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeƱo wheels used. Or try deseeding them to remove much of the kick. But where’s the fun in that?
