​

Cranberry Syrup

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

2 cups cranberries, roughly chopped

​

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for

about 20 minutes until cranberries begin to pop. Press through sieve, cool and store in fridge for

up to two weeks.

​

Note: this will get very thick in the fridge, so you will need to loosen slightly with a little water

when you use in the drink.

​

Jalapeno Infused Tequila

1 bottle (750 ml) reposado tequila

1 jalapeno, sliced into rounds

​

Place the jalapeño slices in the bottle of tequila. Seal lid and set aside in a cool dark place for 2-

3 days. Taste daily to determine “heat” of tequila. Once it has reached your desired level of heat,

strain out jalapeño and return vodka bottle. I store mine in my freezer, it lasts at least six

months!
