Ingredients
- 2 small peaches (pitted and chopped (about 1 cup))
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 jalapeño (sliced into rounds, seeds and pulp included)
- granulated sugar + kosher salt (for rimming the glasses)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 ounces silver tequila
- 1 ounce orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- club soda
- additional lime slices (jalapeño slices, and peach slices to garnish (optional))
Steps
-
Place the peaches in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Set aside.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and jalapeño slices. Bring to a gentle boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot syrup and jalapeño slices immediately over the peaches. Let cool to room temperature, then strain to remove the solids. Transfer to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Salt the glass rims (optional): If desired, run a lime slice around the top rim of two glasses to moisten. Place a small amount of equal parts sugar and salt on a shallow plate. Turn the glass over, then gently press the wet glass rim around in the sugar and salt until it sticks. Repeat with the second glass. Fill glasses with ice.
-
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, place 2 ounces peach jalapeño simple syrup, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Secure the lid and shake for 30 seconds. Strain into the prepared glasses.
-
Top each glass with a splash of club soda Garnish with lime wedges, jalapeño slices, and peach slices as desired. Enjoy immediately.
