Mocktail creations have quickly become my favorite bevy to sip on! They are so refreshing and I love the fact that they don’t dehydrate me when I partake. I made some yummy, spicy jalapeño simple syrup for another cocktail creation that I came up with and I figured it would be a shame to let all that simple syrup go to waste, so I came up with a mocktail and I have to say, this one might be my favorite one yet! I love the subtle spice of the simple syrup and the addition of the sparkling pineapple water! It’s a perfect summertime mocktail to serve your friends at your next happy hour! I love having options other than water for people who don’t want to drink alcohol when we have company over and this is the PERFECT option. Mix one up for yourself today and ENJOY!
