Instructions

1. MAKE THE SWEET & SPICY JALAPENO SYRUP:
2. Add the Mt. Olive Sweet Heat jalapenos, brown sugar and water to a saucepot over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil. Once the sugar has melted, turn off the heat and set the saucepot on a different burner.
3. Allow the jalapenos to steep for 10 minutes and then strain the syrup into a separate jar or container.
4. Discard the jalapenos. Allow the syrup to cool completely before adding to cocktails.
5. RIM THE COCKTAIL GLASSES:
6. Grab a wedge of grapefruit to moisten the rim and then dip the top of the glass onto a plate of kosher salt. Add as much or as little salt as you prefer.
7. SHAKE UP THE SPICY PALOMA:
8. Fill a large cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Add the sweet & spicy jalapeno syrup, lime juice, grapefruit juice and tequila to the shaker.
9. Shake to cool down. Pour your desired amount of ice into the rimmed cocktail glasses and divide evenly with the cocktail mixture.
10. Add a splash of the grapefruit soda water and top with your desired garnishes. Enjoy immediately.
