Let’s make that simple syrup ahead of time! Bring the water to simmer, add the sugar and remove from heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and let cool. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
In a pitcher mix the tequila, beer, lime and lemon juice, and the simple cooled syrup. Add lemon and lime wedges for that extra citrus kick! Then add the jalapenos (seeded or non-seeded) to allow time for that kick of spice to set in. Leave in the fridge overnight!
GAME TIME!
Pour the hop-infused salt in a small plate. Rim each glass with a lime wedge and dip into hop salt.
Fill your glasses with ice, and then pour in the tequila and beer goodness, and garnish with a lime and jalapenos.
Now you’re ready to get your Sunday Funday on!
