Notes
If you do not have Jalapeno Limeade (found seasonally at Trader Joe's), simply muddle 3-4 jalapeno slices with 2 ounces of simple syrup and a mint leaf. Strain the syrup into the cocktail to turn up the heat.
Garnish with a tajin rim for more kick!
Because ginger beer is carbonated, I don’t recommend making these well in advance. However, you could combine all of the other ingredients and then add the ginger beer just prior to serving.
To make this a mocktail, just leave out the vodka and using ginger ale instead of ginger beer!
