Jalapeño Lime Fizz Cocktail
Renee' Groskreutz
A refreshing cocktail with a perfect balance of citrus, spice, and a touch of sweetness. The combination of tequila (or mezcal), bourbon, and a homemade jalapeño-lime infusion creates a bold yet smooth drink, finished with a bubbly kick from ginger beer or club soda.
