This spritzer is zingy thanks to the ginger and it has a slight kick from the jalapeño. Add tequila for a fun, light afternoon cocktail, or go sans alcohol for a refreshing afternoon pick me up. The rimmer is optional but worth the effort!

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Ginger Jalapeño Simple Syrup
  • 2 ounces Blanco tequila
  • Club soda
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, optional
  • Zest from 1 lime, optional
  • Jalapeños and or lime slices for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. For a sugar-rimmed glass, mix the sugar and lime zest and pour into a flat bottomed bowl. Dip the tops of two glasses in water or rub with lime, and wiggle the rims of the glass into the sugar mixture.
  2. Fill two glasses with ice, pour in tequila and simple syrup. Top with club soda and stir.
  3. Garnish with lime and jalapeño slices.
