There’s more you can do with Granny Smith apples besides bake them in a pie. Here, the peels and core are used to make a piquant syrup that provides the “bite” for our fun beer-based drink, the Texas Snakebite. Use leftover syrup to make more cocktails, sweeten sparkling water or glaze an apple tart.

Method
Combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, apple peels and core, jalapeño and rosemary in a small saucepan.

Continue to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and steep for 15 minutes.
Strain syrup through a fine-mesh strainer; discard solids. Let cool.
Syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
