This is my new favorite bevy of the Summer! I love a good spicy cocktail and this delivers a nice subtle heat. It’s not too spicy and pairs so well with the sweetness of the pineapple. I made a yummy jalapeño mint simple syrup that adds so much to this drink. Keeping simple syrups in your fridge is such a nice treat and this one is a great option because it would work in so many cocktails! This is a super easy, 3 ingredient martini that you can shake up all summer long! Enjoy!

Notes
- To make this drink a mocktail, omit the vodka and add additional pineapple juice. Top with pineapple sparkling water for a little kick!
- If you want this cocktail more spicy, muddle a couple jalapeño slices in the bottom of your cocktail shaker before you add your ice.
