Instructions

Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Combine the mint, lime wedges, jalapeno and 3/4 ounce of the simple syrup (1 1/2 tablespoons) in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Fill the shaker with the ice, pour in the rum and mango nectar and shake briefly.
Pour directly into a highball glass. Top off with the sparkling water and stir briefly.
Garnish with a mint sprig and jalapeno slice.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Chili works really well with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. One wine you could try is Caves Roger Goulart Gran Reserva Cava. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 23 dollars.

Caves Roger Goulart Gran Reserva Cava
The wines employed for cava production are chosen with great care and are subject to a minimum ageing period of four years. After 24 months – and once a year – the bottles in ageing are subject to the déplacé technique, which consists of shaking the bottles in order to homogenize the yeast and obtain a greater extraction in terms of their aromatic and taste potential, over their more than 48 months of ageing. The result is a delicate cava with a pale yellow coloring, light golden tones, and an incredible sparkle, as well as interesting, complex and powerful bouquets.Blend: 60% Xare-lo, 20% Macabeo and 20% Parellada
