Refreshing Strawberry Jalapeño Mojio
Updated: Jul 6, 2020

Ingredients
1 1/2 oz jalapeño simple syrup
3-4 strawberries
10 fresh mint leaves
3 oz light rum
Juice of ½ lime
Ice
Strawberry sparkling water (I use the Waterloo brand but Bubbly is really good too)
1 strawberries and some mint to garnish

Directions
Make the jalapeño simple syrup
Heat ½ cup sugar and ½ cup water in saucepan until this sugar dissolves. Add 1 jalapeño chopped with seed removed. Allow to steep for at least 30 mins or longer if you want a stronger flavor. Remove jalapeño pieces and store in fridge.
Add the simply syrup, strawberries and mint leaves to a tall collins glass to muddle
Top with rum and lime juice
Stir, then fill the glass with ice and top with sparkling water
Garnish with mint or strawberries


Enjoy!
