Spicy Jalapeno Lone Ranger

This spicy and refreshing spritz combines sparkling rosé, jalapenos, simple syrup, and lemon juice to make a Spicy Jalapeno Lone Ranger cocktail. This is the perfect spicy summer spritz for tequila and rosé lovers!

Summer spritzes are some of my favorite drinks; there is nothing better than a bubbly refresher in hot weather! This light and airy grapefruit Aperol spritz ,  elderflower st germain spritz, or this strawberry lone ranger are my favorites.

A Lone Ranger is one of my favorites because it's so simple and refreshing; it's just sparkling rosé, tequila, simple syrup, and lemon juice. This spicy version adds a little jalapeno to the mix for a kick of heat.

Key Ingredients:

• Fresh jalapeno: 1-2 jalepeno slices are muddled with the simple syrup for a spicy mixture. 
• Simple Syrup: simple syrup is 1 part sugar to 1 part water heated until all the sugar has dissolved; I typically make it with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water.
• Lemon Juice: freshly squeezed lemon juice is a must!
• Tequila: Blanco Tequila is the heavy spirit for this cocktail; my two favorites are Casamigos and Herradura. 
• Brut Rosé: the finished cocktail is topped with sparkling rosé for a really refreshing spritz!

How to make this recipe:

1. Step 1: Muddle 1-2 slices of jalapeno (1 for medium-hot, 2 for hot) with 1 ounce of simple syrup.

2. Step 2: Add ice to a large glass, then top with 1 ounce of lemon juice, the jalapeno mixture, and 1 ounce of tequila. 

3. Step 3: Top with 2-3 ounces of Brut Rosé. Stir to combine.

4. Step 4: Garnish with lemon and fresh mint. 

Expert Tips:

• Suggested Barware: Use a jigger to measure your syrup, lemon juice, and tequila accurately.
• You can use a wooden spoon to smash the peppers if you don't have a muddler. 
• For a quicker and easier version, you can use a jalapeno infused tequila like the Ranch La Gloria Jalapeno Lime Tequila, and skip the simple syrup all together!
