Per Drink
2 ½ oz cucumber jalapeño infused Siesta Key Rum
1 oz simple syrup

PREPARATION
Infusion
In a glass container, add the cucumbers and the 750ml bottle of Siesta Key Silver Rum. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for 3 days. Add the sliced jalapeño and let infuse for an additional 12–36 hours, depending on the desired heat level. Strain out the cucumber and jalapeño before using.
Per Drink
Mix the cucumber jalapeño infused rum with the simple syrup and lime juice. For best results, let the mixture rest overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, add the mixture to a shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a glass and garnish with a cucumber slice and a jalapeño slice.
