Instructions
Prepare the jalapeño cilantro simple syrup in a small saucepan. Add sugar, water, cilantro, and jalapeno and bring to a low simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and use a metal mesh strainer to remove the cilantro and jalapeño. Transfer syrup to an easy-pouring container.
Gather serving/margarita glasses and prepare the rim mixture. On a small plate, mix salt and lime zest. On a separate small plate, pour out a bit of lime juice. Dip the rim of the serving glasses into the lime juice, then immediately into the salt lime-zest mixture. Set aside prepared glasses.
Adjust Shaved Ice Maker to the “Fine” setting. Shave ice by adding no more than 8 medium-sized ice cubes to the Chamber of the Maker, taking note that the Maker can only accommodate about 8 ice cubes at once for proper shaving. Shave in batches into the Serving Pitcher until there are about 2½ cups of shaved ice.
Use the Serving Pitcher to distribute ice into prepared glasses evenly.
To each glass, add 2 ounces of lime juice, 2 ounces of syrup, and tonic water to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this N/A option that brings the heat!
