Cucumber Jalapeño Fizz
This refreshing mocktail brings a bit of heat from fresh jalapeño while egg whites are frothed during the shaking process to create a foamy layer. A surprising element of this Cucumber Jalapeño Fizz is the use of a bit of powdered sugar to add sweetness, in lieu of simple syrup.
