Spicy Jalalpeno Lemonade Recipes

SPICY LEMONADE

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups vodka, 1/2 cup Pimm's No. 1, 1 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup each lime juice and honey, 2 teaspoons hot sauce and 1 scant teaspoon coarsely ground pepper in a large container. Cover and shake, then refrigerate at least 1 hour. Shake the vodka mixture again, then pour into a pitcher filled with ice and lemon and lime slices. Stir in 1 cup chilled lemon-lime soda.

JALAPENO LEMONADE

Steps:

• Lemonade is a pretty simple recipe. Lemons, sugar, water and stir. Because of it's simplicity, I suggest you use the best fruit possible: organic for sure, biodynamic if you can find it.
• We'll begin with the simple syrup because it will need to cool. Slice up those 5 jalapeno peppers and add them, seeds and all, to a small sauce pan. Add in 3 cups of sugar and only 2 cups of the water. Warm the mixture over a low heat but once the sugar begins to dissolve, turn it up to medium-high. When it just begins to simmer, remove it from the heat and let it steep for about 5 minutes. Then strain out the jalapenos and let the syrup cool. NOTE: Syrup in this fashion is usually referred to as a rich syrup. The only difference between a rich syrup and a simple syrup is that simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio and rich syrup uses more sugar.
• In a large pitcher, juice the 8 lemons and 8 limes, add in the remaining 3 cups of water and sweeten to taste with the syrup. Serve over ice and garnish with citrus and jalapeno slices.

WATERMELON JALAPENO LEMONADE

Steps:

• In batches, combine 12 cups water, the lemon juice, sugar, jalapeno, watermelon and mint, if using, in a blender. Blend to a puree.
• Allow the puree to steep for 10 minutes before straining it through a fine mesh sieve. Chill well.
• Serve chilled, with ice and a lemon slice floating at the top.
