Fire and Ice

May 14, 2011 (Day 47) — Fire and Ice

Let’s get some heat going on with our ice this evening.

The perfect initiation rite for men.

We’re being all sorts of gourmet tonight, making spicy tuna cakes with a cucumber jalapeno sauce. So we need something equally tasty to drink. Let’s just pile heat upon heat, too!

Fire and Ice

• .5 oz simple syrup
• 7 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 of a jalapeno
• 1/4 lemon wedge
• 2 oz corn whiskey

Muddle the mint and jalapeno with the syrup and lemon juice. Top with rye and crushed ice, then serve garnished with a mint leaf.

Very nice sweet and sour flavor, that has this killer heat that creeps up on the end.

Delicioso!
