    This post is sponsored by Food Should Taste Good™ , but all opinions are honest and my own. Read my full disclosure policy here.

    This bourbon craft cocktail packs a kick! Made with homemade jalapeño-infused bourbon and limeade, it’s served in a glass rimmed with crushed jalapeño Tortilla Chips. The fiery thirst quencher is perfect for Memorial Day and summertime cookouts.

    I love a good craft cocktail. I also enjoy experimenting with unusual combinations or pairing flavors in unexpected ways. This bourbon limeade recipe is a great mashup of flavors.

    Anyone who has ever eaten Mexican food knows that spicy peppers and lime pair well together. And a lime rickey is a classic bourbon cocktail.

    This limeade recipe definitely has a kick thanks to the addition of jalapeno-infused bourbon. #sponsored #foodshouldtastegood

    But what happens when you combine all three flavors — bourbon, lime and jalapeño — in one glass?

    A fiery, slow summertime sipper! This limeade recipe definitely has a kick thanks to the addition of jalapeno-infused bourbon.

    Sparks fly!

    The result is a fiery, slow sipper that is perfect for Memorial Day and July 4th entertaining and summertime cookouts. You’ll definitely feel the heat in the back of your throat, but this spicy limeade recipe won’t set your tongue on fire. The cocktail has a tart-sweet finish, with a hint of heat.

    I recommend taking a sip, followed by a Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips chaser.

    For our tasting session, we paired the cocktail with some of the more mellow and soothing varieties of Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips— Guacamole, White Cheddar, Blue Corn and Lime flavors in particular.

    Our family is a big fan of Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips, and we each have a favorite flavor. My husband loves the Blue Corn Tortilla Chips, and I’m pretty partial to the Lime, White Cheddar and Multigrain Tortilla Chip flavors.

    Food Should Taste Good believes in crafting better snacks, as they know food tastes best when it’s made with real, wholesome, simple ingredients. The chips are also certified Kosher and certified gluten-free.

    I also served the Jalapeño Tortilla Chips with the cocktail because what goes better with spice than more spice? (The drink is also rimmed with crushed Jalapeño Tortilla Chips.)

    If you want to make this fiery limeade recipe, you will need to do a little prep work in advance to infuse the bourbon with jalapeño.

    You’ll need a pint of bourbon and one or two jalapeños and a pint-sized mason jar.

    Don’t feel like you need to invest in top shelf; just go with a mid-grade bourbon to make the infusion.

    Use sliced fresh jalapenos peppers to make a fiery infused bourbon to use in boozy homemade limeade and other summertime cocktails. #sponsored #FoodShouldTasteGood

    Slice the jalapeños and place them in the mason jar. Pour the bourbon on top of the peppers and seal the jar. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for a few days, or ideally a week or two, to allow the flavors to blend. The longer you leave the peppers in the bourbon, the spicier the infusion. Using more jalapeños will also result in a hotter infused liquor.

    While the infused bourbon does take a little time to age, this is a simple cocktail to make.

      Wow. I’m blown away by this creation. I love it for spiking the bourbon with chilli and for rimming the glass with crushed tortilla chips. So incredibly original.

      I LOVE jalapeño in my drink. There is one at a favorite place of my husband and mine called the Veruca Salt and I get it each time we’re there. YUM I will have to try this one. If you don’t mind my asking – what recipe plugin are you using? It’s so organized; love it! Followed you over from the Pretty Pintastic Party. 🙂

      Well, there’s a flavor combination I never would have thought of, but I am sure the lime and jalapeno are fabulous!
