Step-by-Step Method

Prepare the Simple Syrup (if making from scratch):

Combine equal parts water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.

Blend the Ingredients:

In a blender, combine the white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, pineapple chunks, and jalapeño slice. Add ice until the blender is about halfway full.

Blend Until Smooth:

Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Taste the mixture and adjust the heat by adding more jalapeño if desired.

Strain (Optional):

If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.

Serve:

Pour the daiquiri into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a slice of jalapeño for an extra touch.

Variations

Fruit Variations: Replace pineapple with mango or strawberries for a different fruity twist.

Frozen Version: Blend with frozen pineapple for a slushy consistency.

Spicy Twist: Add a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
